This is a Friends of History Debating Society.

I am John Batcher.

I welcome Pitt Boss Bliss, High Roller Bliss, Disney Yodler Bliss.

We're going to speak to Disney first. He's also

Decan Bliss and Engineer Bliss at Disney. Because there's a new question raised in

the Sag After a lengthy negotiations, the Rider Guild lengthy negotiations

strike and lots of grief about artificial intelligence, AI taking away the work of creative artists.

And there's an example in the Disney art right now that raises that question.

Jeff, a very good evening to you.

I've just seen this for the first time,

so what I'm looking at is the traditional annual Disney family

come together around a turkey there's Mickey and Minnie and and then Donald Duck and I see Goofy they're all arranged around the table and Mickey

is serving a beautiful turkey or alternatively a beautiful pie. What is wrong with this picture? What created the flap, Jeff? Good

evening to you.

Good evening, John. This picture, just to help our listeners even more, is a take on the old Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving

painting of a family gathered around the table and giving thanks. The first iteration of Disney as you pointed out showed Mickey and

Minnie with a turkey serving it to various characters from the Disney stable of

you know successful films and cartoons.

Well, the new one is AI generated in the peers,

and it's woke, as you point out,

because it's a pie instead of a bird,

so they're not gonna upset anybody at PETA but they've got a number of their newer characters or ones that are more popular on TV that are on there.
