It’s a little ironic that they protect SOME copyright and artistic styles (from giant corporations producing media) but not other copyright and artistic styles (independent artists and creators)
So all the reasons they listed here, it’s ok to do that to everyone else just not Disney 😒
Time to switch to the open source / self hosted / jailbroken creation tools instead
I’m fine with people continuing to do shit like this. Don’t profit off of it. Flood the entire internet with so much made up shit it waters down their brand into nothing.
That’s a slippery slope fantasy in and of itself but I would love to see it 😅
It’s not that ironic. In this case, the tool was creating a near-identical replication of the Disney logo. Generally, AI hasn’t been able to convincingly reproduce a logo like that with any degree of reliability (for instance, the jumbled logos in the Getty Images situation). It looks like the AI has actually advanced to the point where it actually violates Disney’s trademark. That crosses the line of fair use at that point.
They don’t need to determine on an individual basis. It’s simple enough to prove that the tool can do it, so they are enforcing that Microsoft make sure it can’t.

I find that differentiation fir a logo silly though.
copy pasting a logo on top after the ai generated the rest really isnt that difficult.
So how would Disney know reliably that the memes are indeed made with a violation by MS?

Photoshop can violate every trademark on the planet, Disney hasn’t slapped Adobe for copyright theft.
I noticed some of these posters had a much better Disney logo than the ones I was seeing before, there’s been some horrible monstrosities lmao
Meanwhile the Shutterstock logo is all over sd
