You are missing the boat here folks.
And so is the reddit moderator.
Maybe things are different across the pond, but in the US trademarks *must* be defended or the company loses the mark it uses for trade, which is what trademark is.

It is not about copyright nor patents but about *identity*. A trademark identifies the source. If not authorized to use it, with at least proper attribution, it creates *legal* "confusion" and a precedent that might allow other unauthorized uses of the logo. OpenAI is 100% in the right and required to protest. Not mentioned in the headline, is that they offered a middle ground. And citing Musk? Seriously?

Do some research!

Musk is at war with OpenAI because he is a *competitor* lagging in the so-called "AI" *comercialization* race. He wants nothing more than to hamper his competitors so he can catch up and also make money off LLM tech. Remember his silly call for a "pause" in "AI" deployment? While he launched his own competitive company? His own chatbot, GROK. Yeah, a trustworthy source.

Musk is a savant, a genius yes, but one with Aspergers who shoots off his mouth and speaks randomly and impulsively about everything daily. If you follow his daily pontifications you'll go bonkers in a week.

Worse, in your crusade against "AI" and Fair Use (again, do some research) you are relying on the words of another "AI" peddler. That's like relying on Ferrari saying anything about Bugatti.

Lazy. You can do better.

This is not correct at all. The trademark can be used under fair use law as long as it does not infringe against the original owner's rights. Using the logo on Reddit to describe the product while not pretending to be the product can be protected under fair use. If the C&D were ignored, OpenAI would have to file a claim that the use of its logo on Reddit would infringe on their property and product - which would be a hard case to make.

You're also missing the irony of the fact that OpenAI has infringed on most copyrights and trademarks to begin with which is the point of the story. As you say - You're lazy - do better.
