One day later, "Google pulls AI-generated videos of Disney characters from YouTube in response to cease and desist": https://www.engadget.com/ai/google-pulls-ai-generated-videos... The next step is to take this beyond AI generations and to license rights to characters and IP on social media directly. The next salvo will be where YouTube has to take down all major IP-related content if they don't pay a licensing fee. Regardless of how it was created. Movie reviews, fan animations, video game let's plays. I've got a strong feeling that day is coming soon. | ||
