but that was for short videos using Sora, not AI images.

And Google's Gemini has no such agreement, and I see a number of AI slop cartoons there with Gemini's 4-pointed star logo in the lower right corner.

And of course the cartoon characters aren't all from Disney.

That collection of ripped-off cartoon characters is a great reminder that the robber baron AI bros think they should be free to steal all the intellectual property in the world.

AI users, if they want to be cartoonists, should work on their own skills and develop their own characters and style, not use AI to rip off real artists' and cartoonists' work.
