A cartoonist's signature is effectively their trademark. I wonder if cartoonists might have more success prosecuting LLM companies through trademark law than others have had using copyright law.

Yeah, now it's not just plagiarism or piracy. It's fraud.

You're absolutely right! It's not just plagiarism or piracy—it's blatant fraud and trademark abuse.

Fortunately for us, we own the government and the media, so it doesn't matter! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to clarify! ✨

There's someone on Lemmy who posts slop cartoons (to like...politicalmemes2 or something) and I feel like I've seen a smudged "signature"
