What could be the reason of banning it. Or is there something we needs to know?
It's used to gather sensitive information...

Lol. Your head get oil. I told someone this same thing a while ago.

Chatgpt is just a glorified secretary. It's mainly for the now common "stay at home, 1-man, business people" who need little research for their work which they can get done on Google anyway but they also need a chat partner that makes them feel they have a staff working for them. Lol.

And like you said, it has a deep confirmation bias, which is what makes it so "sticky" marketing wise. It agrees with what you are thinking and makes you assume you're always correct and could even be a genius. Lol.

But for the coders, I think it helps anyway.

But for someone to make it a mentor is the ultimate risk; you're simply spinning on one spot "wisdom wise", questioning your own self. And everyone knows that the wisdom (not knowledge) level that took you to a particular level will never take you beyond that level.
Apt. I only use it for technical problems now. Since I understood it's a devil disguised as a savior, I limited how I use it. Your life go dey spoil dey go, and it will be doing "Yay! You've got it!" Lmaooo. The guy saying it's a mentor implies he runs all his life problems through the AI - something that hardly tells you when you mess up - even when you instruct it to be brutally honest with you.

Those countries believe that America, who is the main developer of this ChartGPT could be spying on them. If you checked those listed countries they aren't strong allies with USA.

However, here in Nigeria we accept anything we see, our government may not have any business regulating any $hit as long as it doesn't affect their chain of looting our treasure, it's fine with them
grin
and if the F.G ban them some people will still complain

Check all the listed countries are 3rd world and developing countries. They hate innovation, they pamper religion which breeds backwardness
Interesting. Didn't know China and Russia are developing nations. Tell me something else I don't know.

No wonder Nigeria is a country with no foreign policy or direction; anything goes.

Be careful how you use that app. It's coded to most times agree with your bias. You can be mediocre or under performing and it will hype you on. No let ChatGPT destroy your life ooo.
It is a lie. I'm a very frequent users of ChatGPT. ChatGPT is just like a dragon. It all depends on the way you train ChatGPT. You can visibly instruct it to stop agreeing with you and chastise you constructively. Bro, it's not about having it, it is about how you use it efficiently.
Re: 20 Countries Where Chatgpt Is Banned In 2025 by donmik: 11:00am On Aug 14, 2025
I hear many quoting spying as the reason.

I want to ask: what do I have or what do I offer them to spy from me when they are the ones giving me info on some research I make?

Well, I must agree that all is not 100% right using that app cos I fear something must be fishy about an app that gives one everything free and seems to operate like a wizard beyond the scope of virtual facts.

An app that is psychologically aware of one's personal matter and the way out.

Well, let's keep enjoying it while it lasts, at least, not for exam malpractice sake

If the Nigerian government had banned this, youโ€™d be leading the outrage parade, anything to smear the government is fine, as long as itโ€™s not your self-anointed messiah. Pick a lane and stay in it, instead of talking from both sides of your mouth.

All those countries have one thing in common; their leaders want absolute control of their citizens.
They don't want a messed up society when men change to women or same sex marriage.

They don't want their citizens to have or make their own opinions.

Next time, when a discuss is beyond your range, just keep quiet or move along.

Ouch!

I question how people are no longer civil in discussions and relationships these days. Am I the one that has become old school or there is a new "normal" that I am unaware of?

Like I usually tell people around me, you have a right to activism (external) but ask yourself first if you have done civism (internal).

I just tire for the whole generation.

You better learn, most of you all are blind, when you are being advised you all feel someone is wrong, you better learn.
