Disney and OpenAI: The Unholy Marriage

So just recently, Disney announced a giant deal with the AI firm OpenAI to grant them access to 200 of their beloved characters to create AI generated videos with, from franchises such as Zootopia, Star Wars, Marvel, and more, something that has completely infuriated and baffled most people. While some anti woke grifters are happy, most sane people are incredibly annoyed to see more AI slop, especially when it's being endorsed by a giant company like Disney. But the question is - why exactly HAS Disney created this deal? They're notoriously protective of all of their characters, so it's surprising to see them do this, especially since they've been suing other AI firms using their characters- until you realize so much of what they've done in the last few years, from James Cameron endorsing AI 4K remasters, to using AI generated footage in the Marvel TV series Secret Invasion, to putting AI slop on the premiere of Tron Ares, was absolutely leading to something like this.
