Abstract
There appears to be little to no discussion of the major shortcomings of ChatGPT that are relevant to chemical educators, students, and researchers. The performance of ChatGPT, described in three recent papers in J. Chem. Educ., was critically examined along with its performance on assignments in a 100-level general education chemistry course for nonscience majors. ChatGPT’s possible role as an assistant in searching the literature relevant to the biogeochemistry of arsenic was also examined. ChatGPT cannot perform mathematical operations reliably, makes conceptual errors, and fabricates plausible-looking citations, the purported contents of which are only partly accurate.
