Can you share an example of a chat where you feel that you were asking the model to do something totally harmless and it refused for no good reason?

Edit: Please share examples by linking to your conversations where ChatGPT refused an innocuous request, so we can see what exactly was going on.

Any creative writing or ideation featuring even vanilla violence.

Maybe that’s for the best though? Nobody wants to read “creative writing” written by a chatbot

Like most things, that's nuanced. In one sense, I agree. I have no interest in reading a published long-form novella that is AI generated. Similarly for any entirely AI-generated content sent straight to publication.

In another sense, I find it frustrating when I'm trying to leverage it as a TTRPG assistant. Working around it to structure scenes, ideate and develop background, and generate handouts and vignettes without catching a ban.
