ChatGPT's inconsistent copyright filter frustrates game modders

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users are reporting inconsistencies in ChatGPT's copyright filtering, particularly when assisting with game modding.

This selective application of copyright restrictions has led to user confusion and frustration regarding the AI's decision-making process. AI
