“Меня” here is considered to be on genitive form or accusative?

I would say it’s the genitive, used because this is a negative sentence.
Clozemaster provides the case of each word under the ‘More’ button in the ‘v’ drop-down, that provides vocabulary links to each word.

ChatGPT can definitely get stuff wrong. In the sentence “Чаю, пожалуйста”, Clozemaster says чаю is in dative case, but EXPLAIN says it is in genitive case. Here are two ChatGPT 3.5 sessions about that:
At which point ChatGPT breaks down. Second try:
When directly asked about the difference, it’s useful. When only asked about the original sentence, it seems to ‘reason’ backwards from the meaning to what the case should be.
