Don't do that, then.

Artificial intelligence exists only in science fiction.  ChatGPT is not
artificial intelligence, it is a deterministic computer program that
uses a large statistical model of natural language to complete text
submitted to it.  Since it has been trained on a corpus that includes
many examples of questions followed by answers, when prompted with a
question, it will produce something that has the shape of an answer, but
absolutely no effort has gone into ensuring that the answer is correct,
nor does anyone involved have any idea how to even begin doing that.
