    Um, for those of us only just now finding out about this situation, what’s the AI issue here? Did they pirate some of Dana’s work with their AI, or is she inherently opposed to AI and Disney is just using it in general and that’s why she’s angry?

    Full details: some people glean implications from people’s posts, I just want to clarify: I don’t care about AI, I’m just lost on what’s happening here (I only just discovered Dana Terrace exists after only just recently watching the owl house and being told about her other works, so I’m curious about if her stuff is being pirated by Disney via whatever AI stuff they’re doing)

        No clue what Disney is thinking here.

        Beyond the implications to artists, people are going to get around any guardrails you can set up and when they do it’s going to be on every news outlet and they’ll all be saying that Disney officially approved use of its IP on these platforms.

          People will immediately figure out how to make porn or Elsagate-type shit and Disney will get a bunch of angry parents asking why little Timmy was able to make videos of Goofy butchering and eating Donald Duck while completely naked.

            Right now we are getting age verification everywhere. So this might very well become a adult only feature. Maybe a children version that is restricted to a symbolic interface.

            Exactly, that is just going to happen, it’s going to gain a lot of traction no matter how good/bad it is, and Disney is going to be implicated because now its ‘official’.

          I think they are trying to frontear new legal ideas regarding copyright law. That the IP still belongs to the platform/corporation after it went through a generative AI.

          This sucks from an artist/worker pov. This sucks from public domain pov. But I think it’s reachable goal, especially for Disney.
