Not content with mere plagiarism and copyright infringement, it looks like #OpenAI is adding forgery. How long till they start synthesizing provenance records, and thus progress into falsification of business records and, once cash is exchanged, fraud as well?
If anyone wants to take the title “From Stochastic Parrots to Stochastic Pirates 🏴☠️” and run with it, please do, but be sure to credit @emilymbender, @timnitGebru, et al for the original (unless you are they).
"Katzenstein considers the reproduction of his signature by ChatGPT to be more than just a violation of intellectual property; to him, it’s closer to false impersonation. '[ChatGPT] is attaching my name to work that I do not endorse or like. It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me.'" https://www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chatgpt-is-adding-real-cartoonists-signatures-to-fake-new-yorker-cartoons/
