ChatGPT's response...because I don't think it's ironic:

> The situation you described could be seen as either humorous or paradoxical, but not necessarily ironic. > > Irony is a figure of speech that involves a contrast between what is expected and what actually occurs, often with a humorous or satirical intent. In the case of a company banning chatbots and someone inventing an extension to bypass that ban, there might not be a clear contrast between expectations and reality, so it wouldn't be considered irony. > > However, the situation could be described as paradoxical, which refers to a statement or situation that seems self-contradictory or absurd. The idea of a company banning chatbots but someone finding a way to bring them back could be seen as paradoxical. > > > Another word that could be used to describe the situation is humorous, as it could be seen as a humorous take on the futility of trying to ban technology. <-- now THIS I agree with...
