ChatGPT now refuses prompts that ask it to copy famous authors’ style

ChatGPT is now refusing to generate text that directly copies the style of famous authors.
Ars Technica says the model now offers safer alternatives that preserve only the broad qualities of a writer's voice, and it reproduced this behavior across living authors like J.K. Rowling and Amy Tan as well as dead authors such as Charles Dickens and Ernest Hemingway. The piece also notes that a recent No Latency analysis had found a different pattern for some deceased authors.
