After some more experience from this bot over a couple of months, I would say that we should ban it simply because: **The answers it gives are often wrong**. ChatGPT has been hyped up ridiculously. It is not that good, it is not that smart, it _cannot_ be trusted to give correct answers to complex topics such as programming. It cannot write decent code. It is just guessing. Whenever someone tries to make it answer a complex topic, it starts to blurt out cocksure statements that are factually incorrect, mixing those with things that are correct. Basically it is producing "the best kind of lies with a little bit of truth mixed in".
