ChatGPT will not write fanfiction with certain pairings

[sandstorm]

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

it allows RPF but somehow the characters from good omens that are basically canonically together are forbidden? like, that's one of the most normal ships in fandom rn (I assume, I don't read the fic so idk how weird they get)

Weird

Yep, one of these things is not like the others.

(I do read the fic and tbh it’s still relatively sane compared to most fandoms 😂)

[peddlestools]

I feel like all of the fic would be tame and wholesome

like, obviously there's a human au where the angel guy runs a bookstore -- which is already canon -- next door to the devil guy who has a plant store or whatever and shenanigans happen and they fall in love the end

ChatGPT uses version 3.5, which means it is only updated to 2021, so it wouldn't about season 2.

Sometimes it will pretend it knows stuff past 2021, which is called a hallucination haha.

I just asked it about Good Omens as a test and here's what it said: As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there had been discussions about the possibility of a second season of "Good Omens," but no official announcement had been made. I recommend checking the latest news and sources to see if there have been any updates regarding a second season since then, as my information may be outdated.

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.

did openai write this

[bakemonos]

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!

[corrykennedy]

"we"

omg lol this unprompted bragging about your career and you literally got it wrong too..... oops!

[notoriousreign]

lmao as it should be fuck Stucky

[hiketogether]

I saw post on Tumblr yesterday with fic writers asking readers to not run their fics through this to get an ending for a WIP or different ending than they wrote because reader may not like it. And that sucks that this is something that has to be said.

[kerosene_pill]

I hate this new breed of fanfic consumers so gd much omg

[bluestoplights]

This is so weird because fic of all things is supposed to be about having fun and creative expression so idk why you'd circumvent the whole point with AI

Nobody is getting paid here!

[goldenhera]

Exactly! Why take the fun out of a low stakes hobby?
