‘This is fine’ creator says AI startup stole his art
Summary
KC Green, creator of the widely recognized “This is fine” meme, has accused the AI company Artisan of copyright infringement for using his artwork in a subway advertisement without permission. The ad modified the original comic to promote Artisan’s “Ava” AI product. While Artisan claims they are reaching out to resolve the issue, Green has stated he is seeking legal representation, expressing frustration that he must divert time from his creative work to defend his intellectual property rights against unauthorized AI use.
