ChatGPT puts real cartoonists' signatures on fake New Yorker cartoons
luisdans · x · 2026-10-06
Nieman Lab reports ChatGPT isn't just imitating New Yorker cartoon style — it falsely attributes AI images to real artists. A viral fake cartoon (25,000 likes on one tweet) bore the signature of New Yorker cartoonist Brendan Loper, who never drew it; the creator had simply prompted ChatGPT for "a New Yorker-style cartoon." Loper has since been flooded with messages asking if it was his.
