KC Green Accuses Artisan AI of Stealing 'This is Fine' Meme for Subway Ad
Share the canonical public link.
KC Green accused AI startup Artisan of using his 2013 'This is Fine' comic without permission in a New York subway ad on or before May 3, 2026. The modified ad shows the dog saying '[M]y pipeline is on fire' and promotes 'Hire Ava the AI BDR.' Artisan's prior 'Stop Hiring Humans' billboards in San Francisco and New York drew attention to its AI sales automation tools. KC Green stated the artwork was stolen like AI steals and planned to seek legal representation. Artisan responded by expressing respect for Green's work and scheduling a direct conversation with him.
