Context: Informal ban already effective
Meta Stackoverflow and Meta Stackexchange has already been discussing a (temporary?) ban of answers crafted with ChatGPT (SO 421831, SE 384396).
Answers identified as generated by ChatGPT have been already being deleted by moderators.

Currently, answers generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are likely to be sub-standards. If the time arrives when AI generated answers could be good enough or superior to human-generated, there would be no much point on storing AI generated answers here anyhow.
AI generate answers usually don't give correct attributions, and may constitute plagiarism.
Request for Discussion:
Explicitly ban AI generated answers.
Add a warning message.
What is left to do is to explicitly document the ban on Mathematica StackExchange and add a message informing the users that AI generated answers are not allowed and will be deleted.
Identification
It remains unclear what is the criteria for identification of AI generated answers, and how to deal with ambiguous posts. This should be discussed here too.
