Curious Behavior From ChatGPT

I am using ChatGPT to find laws that I have found in the past but neglected to save a link.  What is frustrating is that in many cases I have the title but OCR quality on some scans is not good, so searching for text finds nothing.  In some cases I have partial citations. 

Do I asked ChatGPT to find laws with particular text and it did a good job finding links to the law in the official printed volumes.   I needed to find a 1752 New Jersey law that banned transfers to Indians.  It started showing me volume title and chapter number.  Then it erased the text and told me it could not do that.  

I asked why.  It gave me the absurd answer that this might violate copyright law.  On a volume published in 1752?  I was not asking for text, just a link.   When I asked for racially discriminatory laws in colonial New Jersey, it worked.  I am not sure if they rule is "no guns" or "no racially discriminatory gun laws."  Bizarre
