    The ChatGPT backlash has officially begun. On Wednesday, New York City
    public schools barred teachers and students from using the chatbot,
    apparently fearing that the powerful AI would lead to a tsunami of
    cheating.

    The ban was originally reported by Chalkbeat New York, which wrote
    that the city had blocked the program on school internet and devices.
