ChatGPT mimics signatures of New Yorker cartoonists without permission

ChatGPT has been generating fake New Yorker cartoons that mimic the signatures of real cartoonists, including Brendan Loper, Emily Flake, and Jason Adam Katzenstein. These AI-generated cartoons have gone viral on social media, leading to confusion and concern among the affected artists. The cartoonists describe the unauthorized use of their signatures as a violation of their personhood and a threat to their creative labor. OpenAI has acknowledged the issue but continues to allow the practice in some cases.
