I had to read the article carefully before I got it. It wasn't Disney that was using generative AI. One of their artists used a licensed stock image for a background element (which is 100% acceptable thing to do!) and people are complaining that this background element from the stock image company was AI generated.

"Disney" isn't the culprit here!

100% acceptable

Acceptable to whom? Consumers? Or Luddites and a guild whose interests aren’t entirely aligned with consumers?

I think they were referring to using a licensed stock image in a background element as acceptable, not the stock image company using generative ai.

I am no fan of Disney, but they appear to have been doing everything by the book.
