@davidgerard Disney getting in on the AI video thing and immediatelly getting burned by their partner is giving me real 'brands entering the Metaverse only to realise that no humans were there' vibes. You love to see it.
@Rycochet @davidgerard IMO it was always a cynical stock play that gave them exposure to AI investor hype. They likely had no intention or core business case that revolved around randos generating Grokified Elsa photos that would tarnish their brand.
