Stack Overflow Bans ChatGPT For Constantly Giving Wrong Answers

The situation is both absurd and entirely predictable. AI models like ChatGPT make use of large language models (LLMs), a type of AI model trained on billions of examples scraped from the web. These models don’t actually understand human language—they merely generate natural-sounding text by predicting what word will come next, based on training data and the previous words in a sequence. They’re also infamous for reproducing racist and sexist stereotypes, which AI companies have attempted to filter and suppress with extremely spotty results.
