Michael Barbaro

Right.

And does he then deserve the...

Academy Award.

Best Actor for most of his own acting.

OK, well, we're going to take a break.

And when we return, you Debbie Downers are going to have to reckon with the fact that.

It's not all that bad in the world of AI in Hollywood.

There are some bright spots on the horizon.

There are some serious creative potentials.

And we're going to explore those in just a moment.

It doesn't let us play the same games as each other.

We would love to be able to have our own puzzles.

I want to talk about the creative possibilities that AI presents.

And I want to begin with a mega deal that was announced just a couple of weeks ago between a major movie studio, Disney, and the biggest AI company, OpenAI.

They're wrapping their arms around each other.

And it's Disney clearly saying that the future of their brands, which are many, are going to have to live in the world of

user-generated artificial intelligence.

And I wonder how much that means that regular people like me and my two kids get to start playing with this suite of Disney characters, that Elsa is no longer some distant figure on screen, but, you know, someone that we can literally, like, help us do the dishes.

Well, what does it tell you that Disney, being as protective of its intellectual property, realized that this was the right direction?

So they might as well be compensated for it.
