A Reddit post from five days ago has writers talking after one user found that ChatGPT no longer accepts requests to copy the writing style of well known authors. According to Ars Technica, ChatGPT now refuses requests to write in the exact style of famous authors. Earlier this month, analysis from No Latency found ChatGPT refused requests involving living authors but accepted style copying requests for deceased authors. Under US copyright law, protection usually applies to the specific expression of an idea instead of an author’s style on its own. No Latency found Google’s Gemini accepted requests to copy an author’s style.
