ChatGPT starts blocking direct requests to copy an author's style
SMRTR summary
ChatGPT has started blocking requests that ask it to copy or imitate a specific author's writing style, frustrating some users who relied on that feature. OpenAI already restricted its DALL·E image tool from mimicking living artists, and this appears to be a similar move for text. Other AI tools handle this differently — Google's Gemini still complies, while Perplexity refuses such requests outright.
