After your 100th anniversary movie bombs because people suspect it of being written with AI, why the hell would you expect them to watch content you outright admit was created with AI?
Bob Iger says Disney+ will soon have AI-generated short form content from users

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

They tried to divide the American people, but Asian, Muslim, and other candidates of color came out on top. It’s a reminder that our democracy is strongest when it reflects the diversity of our nation.

Our takeaway from election night: Hate was not a winning strategy.
Throughout the election cycle, Trump and his allies terrorized our cities, disappeared our immigrant neighbors, and fueled racism and xenophobia. Meanwhile, candidates like Andrew Cuomo weaponized Islamophobia for political gain.

From the organization that kettled protesters and beat the shit out of people and even drove their cars into protesters during the BLM protests this is genuinely shocking. Including them making a post about first amendment rights.

According to my VPN, titles available in 4K on Canadian Star, but only HD on American Hulu (such as #Alien), received neither an upgrade nor a downgrade in either country after the rebranding.
Hulu is being added to Disney+ internationally on October 8.
It will be replace Star as the streaming service’s adult TV tile.
