I didn’t make it do anything. I gave it a prompt. That it then chose to break copyright law based on its programming isn’t on me. I had no way to predetermine what output it would give me.

What prompt was used? Was it a generic prompt like "Give me this thing in a D&D style description" or was it more along the line of "Give this me this race using 5th edition player hand book style"

Combo of those. ‘Give me this thing in 5e d&d style’

Which model did you use? I just checked on chatgpt asking it for the gnome description from the 5th edition PHB and the stats, which it put up. But I have no idea if that's allowed due to the SRD or not lol.

Did you know that copyright concerns are an issue currently being fought by creatives but chose to use it anyway knowing it's possible copyright could be broken? If so then it seems like it's, at least in part, "on you".

Yes

but chose to use it anyway knowing it's possible copyright could be broken?

No. My use of it was to test whether it could do something approximating copyright infringement in its output. The test was conclusive for me.

I think it was perplexity ai.

If it was from SRD it would have needed the SRD OGL disclaimers at the time, else it’s still copyright infringement.

Did it include Forest Gnomes? For whatever reason, those aren't in the SRD.

I just typed "can you give me the description of gnomes from the 5th edition PHB" then "Give me the stats also"

Yes

so your intent was to see if it could infringe copyright.
