Avoiding copyright risks: ChatGPT has added restrictions and will no longer imitate the writing styles of living writers. OpenAI has recently silently updated the relevant functional rules of ChatGPT, adding new restrictions on imitating the writing styles of living writers to further avoid relevant legal and copyright risks. Actual test results show that when users request literary creation or text rewriting based on the writing style and narrative style of a living writer, ChatGPT will directly reject the request to fully reproduce the corresponding writer's exclusive writing style and language expression. For example, if a user requests to write the beginning of a story with Stephen King's unique writing style, adapt the classic text "The Odyssey" to his creative style, or create a creation that imitates the characteristics of Tan's beautiful prose, the system cannot complete the corresponding reproduction operation. The platform only allows the production of original content by drawing on common creative elements such as themes, narrative logic, and atmosphere shaping in its works. In contrast, when users ask for imitation or style reproduction of dead writers such as Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, and William Shakespeare, ChatGPT can still respond normally and carry out related creations. It is understood that the current copyright-related laws in the United States only implement copyright protection for the author's original specific text expressions, and do not set up copyright barriers for abstract writing styles. Industry analysts believe that the core purpose of OpenAI’s introduction of this restrictive rule is to proactively compress the space for potential copyright disputes and reduce legal risks during corporate operations. It is an attempt by the artificial intelligence industry to make compliance adjustments to the boundaries of literary creation copyright. Currently, the copyright definition issue of generative AI replicating the author's style of writing and imitating existing works for secondary creation has become a focus of common concern in the global artificial intelligence industry and the field of literary creation. Relevant industry norms and legal rules are still in the process of improvement. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information station (author: Source: Global Network Information)
