    Funny for Disney that they think this is the best use of money. I’ll ensure that I DON’T buy anything with Disney or from OpenAI. Oh wait, I already avoid them both! 😂 Both represent overinflated companies and AI is just an unsafe tech with nearly zero true guardrails for it’s usage. Disney lost it’s place in society wanting them in our future somewhere in the mid 2000’s. I think it’s evil to happily push/promote CRISPR gene-editing to kids and adults, which I think should be LIABLE IN COURT for promoting dangerous biotechnology. Disney will be held accountable for that, along with others. OpenAI and the rest, just a money scheme, dystopian, unconstitutional as far as I’m concerned, dangerous to national security (since the government can’t implement proper guardrails or even prevent hacks), dangerous to We The People more than ever helpful, is incorrect, bad for the environment, and so much more. I know the positives (as I do follow the sector heavily), but I’d give ALL AI usage up forever verses desire what these snakes are implementing.
