Butthole of the Mouse.
I suspect the timing of this has a lot to do with the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the appeal regarding copyright for AI-generated visual art, which effectively upholds the Copyright Office's determination that copyright only applies to human-created works.
If Disney (or any other prospective customer) can't claim copyright over anything a generative model might produce, then it has no commercial value.
Yeah, that's definitely part of it, I think. That, combined with OpenAI's inability to make an actual ROI just made it a non-starter. I hope to see more of this in the future.
Cheers, I'll drink to that
And there was much rejoice!
