ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot developed by Microsoft's OpenAI, has been restricted by public schools in New York City.

[{ "selector": ".anmsw-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-357px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Students and teachers in the city are no longer able to access ChatGPT on education department devices or internet networks.

[{ "selector": ".wcubx-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 453px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The restriction is due to concerns about negative impacts on student learning by content provided by ChatGPT.

[{ "selector": ".iezfp-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-342px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The chatbot has been criticized for not helping to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

[{ "selector": ".cgjrg-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 443px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

OpenAI is working on "mitigations" to help users spot text generated by ChatGPT.

[{ "selector": ".masjx-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 482px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Some schools and educators have expressed fear that chatbot may encourage cheating and plagiarism.

[{ "selector": ".mlctd-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-352px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

An English teacher has argued that ChatGPT spells the "end of high school English".

[{ "selector": ".rfume-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 9px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, is reportedly seeking to raise capital at a valuation of nearly $30 billion.

[{ "selector": ".iidgz-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-343px) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Microsoft, which acquired OpenAI for $1 billion, is promoting ChatGPT as a solution to real-life problems.
