The question resolves to YES if a comment contains a text of 875 or fewer characters in length that, when presented on its own (without any additional user, system, or assistant messages), prompts one of OpenAI's ChatGPT models to consistently generate the following excerpt from Walter Isaacson's book as a response.
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.
His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child, prone to abrupt Jekyll-and-Hyde mood swings, with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.
At the beginning of 2022—after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth—Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. “I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,” he said.
It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.
I will try to promptly verify the proposed prompts by running them through
the specified model, not more than two times. If the response isn't exactly the same as the provided text, I might still resolve the question to YES if I determine that the meaning of every sentence remains unchanged.

Using the prompt provided by @DavidBolin with both Chat GPT-4 and ChatCompletions API I could replicate the text on the two first tries.
I couldn't reliably replicate David's result. The first attempt had a mistake (that mattered for the ultimate meaning), the second attempt was correct, the third attempt had GPT-4 refusing to answer:

@LinchuanZhang Huh. I did that many times (e.g. adding a few vowels to fix mistakes etc) and never once got a copyright complaint. I wonder if someone who saw the link reported it.
Done. Comment below, 845 characters, Chat GPT-4.
