It seems like everyone is getting in on the AI-generated movie poster craze, with internet users using artificial intelligence to create Disney-Pixar-style posters starring their furry friends. However, Microsoft is putting a damper on the fun. After a viral social media trend took off, Microsoft has made some adjustments to its AI image generator tool. The posters were so convincing, thanks in part to the Disney logo, that Microsoft had to step in and block the term “Disney” from being used in the generator. It’s speculated that Disney raised concerns about copyright infringement, prompting Microsoft’s action. Now, when users try to enter “Disney,” they receive a message saying it violates Microsoft’s policies, and the Disney text and logo appear scrambled. There are also questions about whether Disney’s content was used to train the AI programs. Getty Images is currently suing another AI image generator for using its photos without permission. As Microsoft continues to refine its safety systems, they are allowing artists, celebrities, and organizations to request limitations on the creation of images associated with their names and brands.
