ChatGPT starts blocking direct requests to copy an author's style

OpenAI updated ChatGPT's system to decline direct requests asking the model to replicate a specific author's writing style. The change applies to requests that ask ChatGPT to write in the manner of named authors. OpenAI said the update aims to address potential copyright concerns, though the company has not detailed specific legal standards guiding the restriction. Users can still request writing assistance in general stylistic categories such as "formal," "casual," or "humorous."
