This will only end badly. And I mean racist Goofy meme videos targeted to children badly.

Oh, so the slop generator gets to use Disney's characters, but they'll sue a daycare for painting Mickey Mouse on the wall. I see how it is.

Say what you want about Altman, he is a fantastic grifter. Instead of suing the shit out of his worthless hypebag bullshit machine “company”, they’re… paying… him… to license their characters…? These corporations have lost their goddamn minds for this snake oil

Given Walt's own relationship with his animators this is actually very on brand

They might change their tune once the slop video generators are pumping out officially licensed scenes of Elsa getting gang banged.

Disney is perhaps the one company on earth powerful enough to put AI companies on their place regarding all the copyright shit.
How fucking naive of me to not realize they'd join up instead

"its characters" bitch half of your characters are just ripped off from fairy tales

Just executives milking their company for as much money as they can. They don't care for their brand. If it makes them money, they'll totally let Disney slide into an AI content slop hell scape. Ruining the reputation and quality of their product, then bounce with their severance and bonuses when stocks start to fall. Just to go off and do it all over again with another company.

Now your kids can make their own completely unregulated Spider-Man and Elsa content at home

Why spend money advertising your old mouse when the kids will do it for you?

OPENAI, is seeking some poor sucker to hold the bag before the bubble burst. disney will regret it.

I love how this should be the other way round (the slop company paying the content "owners") but thanks to turbo capitalism the world get's fucked up in new disgusting ways every day!

all of disney+ catalog can be found on the high seas :)

This is how the bubble floats a little longer.

Conveniently, the AI models are probably already trained on Disney characters to begin with. Definitely a cash grab though.

Well someone is getting nervous about Marvel’s future

I wonder if they're going to have special rules what you can and can't do with them.

I eagerly await the Zootopia output.

all monopolies should be split into different smaller companies which would then be given to the workers who would collectivize them. seriously!

GISNEY

So now does this mean you can just say it was ai generated and you can't get sued by disney /s

Rule 34 anybody?

All of its lot? $1 billion is nothing.

God, I didn't think i could want OpenAI to crash even more than I already did!

How long before someone tricks SORA into some Disney themed Rule 34?

we need another animator's strike- nay, a general workers' strike at disney. seriously!

I'm still very AI ignorant but why would disney go all in on AI when I can just tell my own AI to make up a "disney-like" movie for me and skip the middle-man (disney).

They know that everyone will use AI to remix all their products into lucrative viral content. Just look at all the AI slop that so many channels on YouTube where they just recreate Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, actors into all kinds of videos, remixes and music.

I think Disney sees all this and they'll jump ahead and remix everything with AI with all the products they own.

Expect to see Star Wars Episode XX starring Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing

Or Star Trek XXX starring the entire original cast for the 60s

~~fuckin' A, does no one post sources anymore?~~
