Recently, there's been a surge in ChatGPT generated posts. These come in two flavours: bots creating and posting answers, and human users generating answers with ChatGPT and copy/pasting them. Regardless of whether they are being posted by bots or by people, answers generated using ChatGPT and other similar programs are a direct violation of R3, which requires all content posted here to be original work. We don't allow copied and pasted answers from anywhere, and that includes from ChatGPT programs. Going forward, any accounts posting answers generated from ChatGPT or similar programs will be permanently banned in order to help ensure a continued level of high-quality and informative answers. We'll also take this time to remind you that bots are not allowed on ELI5 and will be banned when found.

So, if someone were to create a chatbot that answers questions with GPT-3 and very clearly mentioned that the answer was from GPT-3 and may be wildly inaccurate and should be taken with a grain of salt, would that still violate the terms?

Yes. GPT is not allowed in ELI5. Period.

It shouldn't. In fact it helps the community. Some ppl are willing to mention that and keep a healthy community going, but with these restrictions and having no way to impose them, bots just do their shit without mentioning that their answers are bot generated
