I’ve been playing around with variations on a prompt I saw on Facebook.

Y’know, really, it shouldn’t be too hard to make an image generator that does a good job with text, if that’s the specific goal that you’re pursuing. You start by training an image generator to make images of individual letters in whatever style, and then you use a “dumb” program (i.e., not AI) to arrange those generated letters correctly, and then you use that as a starting image for another round of AI, or superimpose them on top of an otherwise AI-generated image. On a completely different note, I’m wondering what that thing is on the altar in front of Fr. Urso. It looks almost like a book… but a book with three pages side-by-side, rather than the usual two. And then some sort of platform sitting on the middle verso, with a pewter… something… on it. The bear is also polydactyl, but I don’t know how common that is for bears (it’s not too rare in cats, for instance). ---

You can’t infringe a trademark by just drawing something. You have to use it in “trade” - selling stuff. The existence of an image is not violating Cosmo’s right of trade using their mark that you’ve imitated. There’s no damage so no remedy. (This gets a little subtle, but not that subtle: you can market a car or energy drink or whatever as “Cosmopolitan”, because a consumer won’t think you’re selling them the trademarked magazine. Confusing the consumer is key to violating a trademark and seeking damages or other remedy. No confusion = no damages = no case. “Cosmopolitan hamburgers” aren’t easily confused with a magazine. The _look_ of the logo “Cosmopolitan” is protected by intellectual property law, and could be gone after by copyright or trademark (or, hell, even design patent) law if you clone it, but all you - as the marketer of “Cosmopolitan” cars or energy drinks - need do is change the font or something equally trivial to skirt the problem. This isn’t usually that big a deal unless the trademark holder or infringing party is incredibly stupid.) - squeegee, son of intellectual property attorney. ---
