    Startup Cat, dressed as a lawyer for the ChatGPT Legal Department, reads a disclaimer that all characters and events are fictional and any resemblance to real people or startups is purely coincidental. He adds that if you think the comic is about you it probably isn’t, but if you genuinely resemble Startup Cat, take the afternoon off.
