Artist Elmer Saflor, known online as Superelmer, has filed a lawsuit against Memes Apps LLC, the company behind Memes.ai and Memes AI Studio. The lawsuit alleges that the AI meme generator illegally commercialized his copyrighted "Running Away Balloon" comic by selling paid subscriptions that allow users to create ads featuring the comic.
Saflor does not object to the widespread sharing of his meme but opposes its unauthorized commercialization. The case highlights ongoing tensions between artists and AI-powered content platforms.
