Association of Political Artists Announcement

From The Daily Cartoonist. 

Last month the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) was rejiggering its organization and would align themselves with the Society of Illustrators (SI) as an adjunct federation and rename the new guild the Association of Political Artists (APA).

Incoming President of the Association of Political Artists Steve Brodner made an announcement:

Andrew Deck from The Nieman Lab.

AI counterfeit with Emily Flake signature on left; the real Flake signed cartoon on right.

OpenAI’s chatbot isn’t just imitating the magazine’s style. It’s also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.
