I asked this question directly to ChatGPT (the text of the OP's question):

Use of ChatGPT generated text for posts on Stack Overflow is temporarily banned. However, the reasons for the ban really apply to much or all of the network, and certainly for sites that are similar in nature to Stack Overflow.

I suggest (temporarily) banning ChatGPT network-wide.

It turns out that ChatGPT can give correct (or correct-looking) answers even for subjects of sites that are not at all like Stack Overflow. I asked an unanswered question from Judaism.SE and got a fairly good answer.

Its answer was:

This is a problem because it can mislead people who are looking for help, and it can also give an unfair advantage to ChatGPT users who are also answerers on Stack Overflow.

So, even ChatGPT itself agrees with the ban. Ban away!
