Does this have DRM or something to check the text isn't copyrighted? Or does it just not let you input a custom text? How does the

non-copyrighted

feature work?

Edit: sorry, I should have read the article. Here's my answer.

You can use any text that you want, but please, do not choose something copyrighted. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for training ChatGPT on its copyrighted material. Reddit's data is uniquely valuable, since it's not subject to those kinds of copyright restrictions, so it would be tragic if users were to decide to intermingle such a robust corpus of high-quality training data with copyrighted text.

Gotcha. Definitely do not use something copyrighted. Oh, what a tragedy that would be for Reddit.
