This will not end well for Disney, there were certain historical characters removed from Sora 2 because people kept making racist videos that are hard to censor, and it became increasingly unhinged. This feels like another circular investment where Disney is hoping to make money back I'm sure. On the other hand, assuming they do the freemium stuff, I look forward to making a few videos of my daughters favorite Disney princesses "talking" to her.

I understand that Disney might care about this, but I don't see why they should.

What exactly does “fanart” (no matter how distasteful and controversial) change?

Let people generate whatever fictional character they want.

It only works until Mickey Mouse shows up on your Tiktok feed lynching an African American and doing a sieg heil salute. Are you sure Disney wants that or would not care about that??

The question is why it shows up on your Tiktok feed.

I thought it was well known and generally accepted that the social medial companies push controversial click/rage bait to keep people “engaged”?

This is a good point. Instead of policing what trolls will use it for, the same AI should be able to detect racist content and prevent it from spreading

Look, I've gotten cartel beheadings and beatings on a YouTube search query for Jack Russell terriers.

Don't throw shade. If you haven't gotten "How the fuck did that get there?", consider yourself lucky I guess. Best I can figure, terriers have some unintentional shared vector space with much more unpleasant content.

This used to be a "zing", but don't think it is anymore. Try to make a new profile somewhere and select a few topics of interest. You will get suggested the most engaging "relevant" content. For me, I made a cycling Instagram and my feed instantly got filled with girls showing of cleavage in lycra with cycling hashtags.

It was not meant as an attack on GP; it was meant as exactly this opportunity to question "the algorithm".

I swear to god Instagram is like the patriarchy speedrun.

If it finds out you're a woman, within mere minutes it's 100% "you're fat" "try this diet" "you've GOT to buy this viral dress on shein!!"

And if you're a man, it's boobs, ass, objectification, and products to make you feel more like a man.

The sheer velocity at which Instagram will shovel you into capitalist-patriachy++ is shocking.

...have you ever thought about the way you're using the app, then? Because I, personally, get nothing else other than dumb memes and posts from people I follow.
