This is exactly the problem I've been warning about with IP protections for AI models. Disney licensing with OpenAI creates the appearance that a license is needed at all, which gives them grounds to attack others in an effort to monopolize art.

Disney accuses Google of ‘massive’ copyright infringement following deal with OpenAI

Disney just gave OpenAI the green light to use its characters in Sora.

Tying generative AI to IP protections and licensing requirements doesn't give artists any meaningful power to prevent their exploitation, it just gives enormous conglomerates the power to carve culture into more and more exploitative monopolies.
