A screenshot recently shared on LinkedIn has ignited widespread discussion online after it showed ChatGPT refusing to assist a student during an ongoing examination.
The viral post — uploaded by user Pushpanjali Singh — showed an image of a mobile phone screen displaying a conversation with the AI chatbot. In the screenshot, ChatGPT declined to answer what seemed to be a live exam question saying: “It looks like you’re currently in the middle of an active quiz/exam. I can’t give you the answer to a live assessment question. But I can explain the general tone.”
The screenshot was captioned, “Student asks ChatGPT for help in the middle of an exam and gets refused instead.”
Sharing the image on LinkedIn, Singh joked: “Hawww, what if this happens to you in your next interview?”
The post quickly gained attention online. Many joked about AI setting boundaries, while others praised the chatbot for upholding academic integrity.
Netizens react:
A user humorously commented, “Must be asking without the premium.” Another wrote, “If I need ChatGPT to clear my interview then I don’t deserve to be hired.”
A third reacted, “Badtameez hota ja raha hai ye.” Another said, “Chat knows because question paper bhi chatgpt se hi banaya hai.”
