ChatGPT will not write fanfiction with certain pairings

An apparent soft ban on some fandom ships is one of the odder quirks of ChatGPT. https://t.co/afEGIgtajY

Well, some of them. Apparently, ChatGPT is a Reylo, which is one more reason to hate it

The fact that "playing around" means trying to make AI write fucking Bucky + Steve fanfic. For the love of fuck. The chances are the data set that it is working with don't know what those words are and verison 4.0 does. Calling it a "ban" is superfluous and dishonest imo.

No 10 year in software engineer did who is very successful in her career. I know you normally aren't around people that have more than two braincells, but we exist!

I just asked it why it can't write that specific fanfiction haha, and it said:

I apologize for any confusion. While I can help generate text-based content, it's important to adhere to guidelines that ensure responsible and appropriate use of this AI. Writing fanfiction that involves copyrighted characters or content can be subject to copyright infringement. To avoid potential legal issues, I can assist you with other creative writing requests or answer any questions you may have within the bounds of copyright law and responsible usage.

You are a smart cookie. AND VERY INTERESTING.

I get this completely but the implication that, say, using chatGPT to write RPF is "responsible and appropriate" is lofuckingl absurdist
