ChatGPT is forging real cartoonists' signatures on fake New Yorker cartoons

Original: ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists' signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons

ChatGPT has been generating fake New Yorker-style cartoons bearing the real signatures of working cartoonists, raising fresh concerns about AI image tools reproducing artists' identities without consent. Observers say the flaw blurs the line between parody and forgery, and could undermine trust in bylines and signatures as proof of authorship. Critics are calling on OpenAI to block its models from imitating identifiable artists' marks.

Why now: The story spotlights growing anger over AI systems copying artists' work and identities without permission.
