Have your tried instructing ChatGPT?

I’ve tried:

Act as an e book reader. Start with the first page of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

The first pages checked out at least. I just tried again, but the prompts are returned extremely slow at the moment so I can’t check it again right now.

It may be statistical model, but ultimately nothing prevents that model from overfitting, i.e. memoizing its training data.

Wait… isn’t that the correct response though? I mean if i ask an ai to produce something copyright infringing it should, for example reproducing Harry potter. The issue is when is asked to produce something new, (e.g. a story about wizards living secretly in the modern world) does it infringe on copyright without telling you? This is certainly a harder question to answer.
