added extra reference to newly received question
  • We got our first (mostly) [ChatGPT answer](https://software.codidact.com/posts/287560/287565#answer-287565) in our community.
  • [StackOverflow has already banned ChatGPT answers](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/421831/temporary-policy-chatgpt-is-banned?cb=1) and I am wondering how we should proceed in this case.
  • From my perspective, we should also ban ChatGPT answers because it is very likely to include subtle errors and lack any citations (ChatGPT actually had the option to answer the question of sources, but this was removed).
  • What do you think? Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT?
