Using chatgpt with ocaml

My tongue-in-cheek comment quoted above wasn’t very clear, so let me elaborate.

When someone posts a question in this forum, they expect, and deserve, and most of the time get a correct answer written by a competent member of this community. If they wanted to have ChatGPT’s answer to their question, they could have asked ChatGPT themselves, no need to post here.

Posting IA-generated answers on this forum is wrong, in my opinion, and should be prohibited. Those answers are often wrong and need to be reviewed and corrected later by humans. The end result is more noise in the discussion and more work for the human experts (it’s more pleasant to write a good reply than to correct IA-generated gibberish). It also hurts the reputation of this forum as the place where very competent OCaml programmers reply to all sorts of OCaml-related questions. Finally, the AI-generated answers get picked by search engines and end up in training data for the next generation of AI systems, which is problematic.

So, have all the fun you want with ChatGPT, but please don’t post ChatGPT-generated answers in this forum.
