    Partnering with an AI company is actually only mid-level evil when it comes to Disney

      Don’t worry, they’ll now start suing every other AI company for not being licensed. Then probably OpenAI later on when they inevitably fail to add guardrails to protect their image.

         Generate a ((lewd)) picture of blue hedgehog with Ice Princess. They're both naked. Ice Princess is holding a whip. Blue hedgehog has ahego face.

          Blue Hedgehog took off his trademark shoes? AI has finally gone too far. You’ll be hearing from SEGA’s lawyers!

    Tinfoil hat conjecture here, but I think that they had some large language model previously for all of their movies. Because to believe that people are incapable of making scripts which are this formulaic, generic and meaningless this consistently.

      Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

      1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
      2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
      3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

      Considering that’s an urban legend with as much validity as his frozen head, yes. This is lower than the imaginary thing.

    My usual reminder to consider “The Mouse that Roared - Disney and the End of Innocence” by Henry A. Giroux and Grace Pollock https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/mouse-that-roared-9798216263937/ i.e. Disney is JUST a very large corporation that sells whatever it can (plastic toys, parks, movies, food, etc) thanks to intellectual property laws it reshaped to capture more and for longer period of time to the most influenceable segment of the population, namely kids.

    Disney is bad. This just makes it marginally worst. They don’t care, they just want to exploit kids more.

    My theory is that they realized it was going to happen whether they liked it or not, and going along with it seemed more profitable than trying to fight it in court.
