"The demand for Disney characters in particular from our users is sort of off the charts, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told CNBC in December."
"Disney was among the companies that sent a cease-and-desist letter to SeeDance-maker ByteDance last month, calling the app a 'virtual smash-and-grab of Disney's IP [that] is willful, pervasive, and totally unacceptable.'"
"When the Sora 2 model launched in October, OpenAI initially asked copyright holders to actively opt out of having their works used as the basis for generated videos."
"Sora quickly became a hit on mobile platforms following its October launch as a standalone app. But the outsize attention from users was short-lived."
Disney and OpenAI are in discussions about potential partnerships or investments. The announcement of their collaboration raised concerns in Hollywood regarding the future of human actors and content. Disney CEO Bob Iger mentioned plans for Sora-generated content on Disney+. OpenAI's CEO noted high demand for Disney characters. Meanwhile, attention has shifted to AI video apps like SeeDance 2.0, which prompted legal actions from Disney for copyright infringement. OpenAI altered its approach to copyright, shifting from opt-out to opt-in for content use, while Sora gained popularity but saw a decline in downloads.
