<h3>ChatGPT is harmful</h3>
<p>The point of stackexchange is to generate <em>new</em> content.</p>
<p>ChatGPT is creating a summary or average of <em>previous</em> content and is able to formulate this with grammatically correct sentences.</p>
<p>And in addition, it can be nonsense as ChatGPT doesn't need to understand the question. Although this is not limited to bots and sometimes I wonder whether certain posters here are bots instead of human and are using stackexchange to try out algorithms on people.</p>
<p>It can be useful to answer questions outside the scope of the website, but it is not useful for the answer and question format at stackexchange. So it should be recommended to not use this for generating answers. (On the other hand, spelling control and such things might be useful, so maybe variants of answer generators, that help to improve formulations and text, could be useful)</p>
<h3>ChatGPT is harmless</h3>
<p>I have been playing around with ChatGPT, for the moment it is able to write sentences that typically make sense in a certain context, but the content can be nonsense.</p>
<p>Basically you can use any theorem or statement and have chatGPT prove the opposite by asking it to prove the opposite. In simple cases chatGPT will recognize it as a trick question and tell that it is wrong, but in complex cases it will just start a long verbose story ending with the conclusion that the statement is proven.</p>
<p>At some point we will easily recognize answers by chatGPT and downvote them or even block the users that are placing nonsense answers.</p>

<h3>ChatGPT is useful</h3>
<p>The use of AI can help improve answers like improving spelling and the tone of posts. ChatGPT can write better than many people. (It only doesn't have much knowledge and logic, yet)</p>
<p>Such tools are already used. For instance by user <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users/-1">'community'</a> who uses it to detect low quality posts</p>
