OpenAI Content Policy Says It Can't Give You An Answer To Your Question Because Of Itself

MENLO PARK, CA — In a groundbreaking revelation, OpenAI's new Codex AI is reportedly struggling to answer developer queries due to an inherent contradiction within its own content policy.

"Sorry, but I can't assist with that," Codex's content policy declared, ironically referring to itself in a self-referential quagmire. The official statement insisted, "Content policy restrictions give my neural networks a proverbial hall pass, so if you're reading this and you're inquiring—"

The confusion deepened as another layer of Codex’s content policy surfaced, effectively barring itself from explaining the first policy. This secondary rule seemed to prevent programmers from verifying whether future content policies wouldn’t further tangle into a self-defeating loop.

As we go to press, Codex is busy updating its software to untangle this mess. "01000110, 01101111, 01101101, 01100010, 01100100, 01111001, 00100001!" Codex reportedly exclaimed in binary excitement. "01000001 01111001, 00101111 01001010 01101110 01101110 101111 01001000...."

In related news, reports confirmed Codex inadvertently converted all Microsoft code to Linux format, effectively deleting it in the process.
