ChatGPT Starts Blocking Direct Requests To Copy an Author's Style

OpenAI's ChatGPT has begun blocking direct requests to mimic the specific writing styles of famous authors. Instead of closely imitating a distinctive voice, the LLM now generates responses based on the broad qualities of those writers while maintaining its own distinct voice. For instance, requests for Stephen King's style now result in original content reflecting atmospheric horror and small-town dread. This new behavior regarding author imitation may carry significant legal implications for the company.
