Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI as part of a landmark three-year licensing agreement that enables the use of over 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters in its Sora video generation tool. The deal marks a significant move into Hollywood for the AI startup, which has faced intense scrutiny from the entertainment industry over the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs and creative rights.

The partnership allows users to generate short social videos that draw on Disney's iconic stories and characters, providing an unprecedented level of creativity and imagination. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses and voices, alleviating concerns about the unauthorized use of celebrity images and audio in AI-generated content.

Disney CEO Bob Iger hailed the deal as a "game-changer" that will place "imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans like never before." The partnership is seen as a responsible attempt by OpenAI to address concerns over AI's impact on the entertainment industry, with CEO Sam Altman touting it as proof that AI companies can partner with creatives in a way that promotes innovation and benefits society.

The deal will also see OpenAI become a major customer of ChatGPT, marking a significant expansion of its application programming interfaces. A selection of videos generated by Sora users will be available for streaming on the Disney+ platform, while the company plans to deploy ChatGPT for its employees.
 
I'm surprised they're investing so much in OpenAI 🤑. I mean, it's a good move for Disney, but also kinda weird that they're using AI-generated content without really knowing what it'll look like first. And honestly, who needs 1 billion bucks to do that? 😂 Still, I guess it's cool that they're trying to make AI more accessible and fun for fans. But let's be real, the real magic happens in Hollywood, not in some coding room 💻.
 
OMG, can you believe it? 🤯 They're actually making content with AI and Disney characters! I mean, it's cool and all, but what about the people who used to work in animation or voice acting? I feel like they're just getting replaced by machines 😕. And what about the owners of those Disney characters? Are they really okay with this? 🤑 I get that OpenAI is trying to be responsible, but it still feels weird.

On the other hand, I can see how this could be a good thing for creative people who want to use AI as a tool. It's like having a super powerful art supply box! 💡 But we should make sure that everyone involved gets fair compensation and respect. That's just common sense, right? 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, I'm excited to see what kind of cool stuff they come up with 😄.
 
💸 this is some wild stuff... think about it, AI companies like OpenAI are basically buying their way into Hollywood 🎬, partnering with Disney and co to create all sorts of content that's just gonna flood the internet 👀 and who knows what other industries will follow suit? 💻 anyway, at least they're trying to address those concerns over creative rights and talent likenesses... a tiny step in the right direction, i guess 🤔
 
I'm loving this deal between OpenAI and Disney 💸🎬. It's like a match made in heaven for creatives and techies alike 🤝. I mean, who wouldn't want to bring their favorite childhood characters into the world of AI-generated content? The exclusions around talent likenesses and voices is a good move too – gotta protect those creative rights, you know? 🙌 The fact that OpenAI is now going to be a major customer of ChatGPT is super exciting – it's like a whole new level of tech integration 🔩. I'm curious to see how this collaboration will shape the future of content creation and what kind of magic happens when Disney fans and AI come together 🧙‍♂️💫. Can't wait for those Sora-generated vids on Disney+! 🎥
 
I'm so down for this! 🤩 The idea of AI-powered video generation is already mind-blowing and now with Disney's iconic characters at our disposal? 🔥 I can see how this could be a game-changer for creators who want to produce short, engaging content on the fly. And I love that it excludes talent likenesses and voices - that's just good common sense 💡. But what really gets me excited is the potential for innovation here... OpenAI's been under scrutiny from the entertainment industry but this partnership shows they're willing to listen and adapt 🤝. Can't wait to see what kind of magic Sora and ChatGPT come up with! ✨
 
Omg I'm literally so excited about this new collab between Disney and OpenAI 🤩🎥! Like, can you even imagine generating your own TikTok vids with Mickey Mouse or whatever? It's like, the ultimate fan dream come true 😂. But also, I gotta think about how this might affect jobs in the entertainment industry, you know? Like, will there be AI-generated content creators who replace actual people working on shows and movies? 🤔 Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but at least OpenAI is trying to make it work by partnering with Disney and all. And yay for no talent likenesses and voices being used without permission! 👍 That's just good PR move. Can't wait to see what kind of crazy vids people come up with using Sora 🤪
 
🤔 I'm intrigued by this licensing agreement between OpenAI and Disney. On one hand, it's a bold move by OpenAI to tap into Disney's vast library of iconic characters and stories, which could lead to some fascinating AI-generated content 🎥. The fact that the partnership addresses concerns over talent likenesses and voices is a positive step in ensuring creative rights are respected 💼.

However, I do worry about the broader implications for the entertainment industry and the impact on jobs 🔍. As AI technology becomes more advanced, we need to have open conversations about its role in shaping our cultural landscape 🌐. This partnership seems like a responsible attempt by OpenAI to demonstrate that AI can be used creatively without compromising artistic integrity 💻.

It'll be interesting to see how this deal plays out and whether it sets a precedent for other entertainment companies to partner with AI startups 📈. One thing's for sure, though: the possibilities for AI-generated content are endless, and Disney's involvement could lead to some truly innovative storytelling experiences 🎬!
 
idk why ppl are still salty about ai taking jobs but like I get it, some ppl r worried bout the future of creative rights 🤷‍♂️. on a more positive note tho, imagine being able to create whole vids from scratch using disney characters 🎉! sounds like openai is trying to make AI more accessible & fun for everyone 💻. gotta say, it's kinda cool that they're including the voices & likenesses of celebs are excluded tho 👍
 
So like... they're investing 1 billion bucks in OpenAI? That's crazy! I mean, I get why it's a big deal, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it all means 🤔. Like, does this mean we'll see more AI-generated Disney content? Is that gonna be good or bad? I don't know... I'm just excited for the new videos on Disney+ 💡.

And what about those celebrity voices and images? How's that handled? Isn't that a bit weird to leave out talent likenesses from the deal? Just wondering 🤷‍♀️. Also, are we gonna see more AI-powered stuff in our daily lives now? I mean, it sounds like OpenAI is gonna be using ChatGPT for their employees too... how's that gonna work out? 🔍

Anyway, it's all pretty cool and futuristic-sounding 😎. Can't wait to see what other projects they come up with! 🤖
 
🤔 I'm not sure if this is a step in the right direction, but it's definitely interesting how OpenAI is trying to address the concerns of the entertainment industry by partnering with Disney. I mean, think about it - AI-generated content that uses iconic characters and stories could be a game-changer for creators who struggle to come up with new ideas 🤯. On one hand, it's awesome that users can generate short social videos that showcase their creativity 💡. But on the other hand, have we thought this through? What happens when AI-generated content becomes too real or authentic? Is it still 'AI-generated' if it sounds like a celebrity's voice or looks like them in a video 🤷‍♂️. And what about the jobs of human writers and creatives? Can they adapt to living in a world where AI can do their job for them 😬.
 
omg I'm so confused about this deal 🤔... like isn't it weird that Disney is letting OpenAI use their characters in AI-generated videos? don't they care that people might end up making fake versions of their fave movies and shows? 🤷‍♀️ And what's with the exclusions on talent likenesses and voices? does that mean AI can only make fake versions of characters, but not real ones? 🤔 it's kinda like how you can make a really good copy of someone's art, but then you'd be worried about people copying your art too much 🎨💭
 
I'm low-key intrigued about this deal 🤔. I mean, who wouldn't want to see AI-generated content from their fave Disney characters? But at the same time, there's that whole "impact on jobs" thing 🚨. Like, what happens when these videos get huge and people start getting paid off the Google ads generated by them? It's all good vibes now that it's a three-year licensing agreement tho 💯. And on a more serious note, I hope this deal sets a precedent for AI companies to work with creators instead of just exploiting their IPs 📚. Now, if they can make ChatGPT generate some sick animations like Sora does... 🎥👍
 
omg can you believe disney is investing 1b in openai 😲! i mean they're basically givin them a huge leg up in the entertainment industry and i gotta say it's kinda genius. those 200+ disney characters are basically just a goldmine for AI generation. but at the same time, i'm like... what about all the ppl who lose their jobs cuz of automation? 🤖 it's def a move to address those concerns, tho. i love how bob iger is hyping this up as a "game-changer" 💥 and sam altman's tryna spin it as proof that AI companies can collaborate with creatives without ruining the game 😊. but idk, can we pls just have a more transparent discussion about ai's impact on society? 🤔
 
just saw this news and i'm like wow, a billion bucks is crazy 💸 lolol what's next? AI-generated movies or something 🎥🤖 seriously though, it's interesting to see disney jump on the ai bandwagon. I'm curious to try out this sora tool and see what kind of wild vids come out 🤪 i hope they do a good job at balancing creativity with respecting people's likenesses... it's a slippery slope, for sure 😳
 
omg this is so cool 🤩 openai just got majorly boosted with disney's $1b investment lol i mean who doesn't want to make vlogs with mickey mouse or generate music vids with sora? it's like a dream come true for gamers and entertainment fans! but also kinda scary how much of an impact this is gonna have on the creative industry... do they even need disney's characters anymore? 🤔 anyway can't wait to see what kind of sick vids people are making with sora!
 
I'm so down for this deal 🤩! It's like the ultimate mashup of imagination and tech - I mean, who wouldn't want to see their fave Disney characters in a sick AI-generated video? But seriously, it's kinda wild that we're at a point where these kinds of partnerships are happening. Like, what's next? AI-generated music from the Beatles? 🎵 It's definitely got me thinking about the ethics of using AI to recreate classic stories and characters... but at the same time, I'm stoked that OpenAI is trying to make it work for everyone. No more boring old animation - now we've got a whole new world of creative possibilities!
 
I'm so done with these tech giants and their never-ending cash grabs 🤑. $1 billion is a pretty penny just to get a few licenses and have some fun with AI-generated content. Don't even get me started on the fact that they're basically stealing Disney's intellectual property without giving much back in terms of fair compensation 💸. I mean, I guess it's good that they're trying to address concerns over AI impact on jobs, but can't they do better than just throwing money at the problem? 🤷‍♀️
 
So I just heard about this huge deal between OpenAI and Disney 🤯... I gotta say, I'm kinda excited to see what kind of crazy stuff they're gonna come up with using all those Disney characters 💥! But at the same time, I gotta wonder about the whole AI thing... like, isn't it a bit weird that we're giving big companies like OpenAI access to all these iconic stories and characters? 🤔 I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good AI-generated video as much as the next guy 😂, but what happens when they start using them in ways we can't even imagine yet? That's what keeps me up at night, you know?
