OpenAI hits subreddit with copyright claim for using ChapGPT logo — r/chatGPT used the official ChatGPT logo

ChatGPT.

The mods of r/ChatGPT, a subreddit for ChatGPT and OpenAI discussions with 5.4 million members, received a copyright strike from Reddit for using ChatGPT's logo as its profile picture. As first reported by 404 Media, r/ChatGPT's mods posted a thumbs-up emoji with the screenshot on the r/ChatGPT subreddit saying, "We have received a copyright complaint from openai.com alleging unauthorized use of their copyrighted logos in r/ChatGPT."

The r/ChatGPT subreddit has no affiliation with OpenAI, so using the ChatGPT logo might confuse some users. However, it explicitly points this out in its description and disclaimer widget. Nevertheless, someone sent a takedown request to r/ChatGPT, meaning the subreddit must change its logo. In line with this, the mods started a competition among its Redditors for a new non-infringing profile photo.
