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.

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

Cannot tell the difference between artwork and a signature, used to pick military targets. This is fine.

I haven't read the article but what's described in the headline is abhorerent. Ironically the technology could be used to identifying times when artists' identities are being misattributed or stolen. Pretty simple for an artist to define their portfolio then have a bot flag anything it finds with their signature on it that they didn't create themselves.

When a technology is made by corrupt people, we shouldn’t be surprised when it doesn’t corrupt things.

That's called fraud. Are we deciding that crimes committed by AI don't count as crimes?

So…like AI song generation adding Jason Derulo’s tag in generated music because it scraped his music and mistook him singing his own name for “musical content.”

This is very well-written. The closing line is stellar.
