I don't think there are fixed guidelines out there yet, it hasn't been out very long. There also may be less use for fixed guidelines. Unlike Stable Diffusion, your interactions with ChatGPT are really dependent on what the context is and what the domain is. That said, there are plenty of videos on youtube of people exploring it and also communities on reddit like /r/ChatGPT and /r/singularity

I'd encourage you to watch the discussion. It's very clear that they understand this tech and are thinking of this more deeply. They also do not present themselves as ivory tower experts. They admit that they need to re-think education in the face of these technologies. It's unfair to dismiss them on prejudices.

This is a clip from the end of an hour long discussion. Would recommend watching the whole thing if you're interested. It was great to see these higher-education teachers discuss AI so candidly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz7aW6vStBw

I think it's done this way to prevent bias when peer-reviewing. This way independent submissions and smaller institutions get equal treatment alongside the likes of Google and OpenAI, or well-known researchers. It may also prevent negative bias against commercially funded research.
