Refuses even "Write like Stephen King"... ChatGPT expands its block on style imitation

ChatGPT now refuses requests to copy the exact writing style or voice of specific authors, living or dead.

Instead, it offers original text that captures only broad traits, reflecting stronger copyright safeguards.

The shift mirrors limits already seen in OpenAI’s image tools and could reshape creative writing use cases.

Other AI products, including Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity, are taking different approaches.
