Through no fault of his own #DwayneJohnson lost a job. The former wrestler is increasingly known for family-friendly films. His prospective employer, #Disney, has a ravenous desire to reduce costs. Disney wanted to just license Johnson's image and voice to use to make an #AI #CGI movie, but the U.S. #Copyright Office had something to say about that. blobcatbot

@VictimOfSimony@infosec.exchange and people will blame AI for this surely but the real villain here is Disney and the problem is greed.

people will focus so much on the tool used that they forget the actor of the deed and the deed.

#AI is the artist but isn't a human, so the U.S. #Copyright Office says there's no copyright for the "artist" to sell to Disney. Such a weird legal tangle. gargamel

This is probably having a good impact on society, and is the correct legal perspective, but if they made an image library based on licensing work so that artists could be paid that would solve Disney's problem. That's the thing, though; They'd have to pay. 💲💲
