ChatGPT now refuses to directly copy author styles
OpenAI has implemented new restrictions in ChatGPT that prevent the model from generating text that directly mimics the style of known authors. Instead, ChatGPT offers to capture "broad qualities" from the authors while maintaining its own voice. The measure appears to be legal insurance against ongoing copyright lawsuits from authors.
WHY IT MATTERS
The change could be legally significant for OpenAI as it fights multiple lawsuits over copyright infringement. Courts may classify AI-generated text that is "substantially similar" to the original work as infringement, even though style is not inherently protected by copyright.
