Right, and one HUGE point here is that a generic AI model won't work that well for specific video purposes like this. Specific training with the IP is crucially important to assure good quality and matching the likeness of characters from movies and TV we know.

On the other hand, Amazon could have a Star Wars trained model, Pixar trained model, Marvel trained model, etc. Each model would pour over all of hours of content for those universes, so that when you enter a prompt for one of the universes the resulting video will look exactly like what you'd expect it to, instead of it being "off".

Here's my question. Why are Disney and other movie studios allowing Amazon (and its users) to tamper with their creations?

Because they will get a cut of both the subscription and every play of the tampered creation. Disney hasn't exactly been successful with Star Wars lately, for instance, so this is a new monetization avenue. Plus Amazon might be giving them upfront cash, too.

Also, just like Disney used to all their content to Netflix, they can pull the IP in the future just like they did with Netflix. This allows Disney to see if Amazon is successful ,and if so in the far future build their own AI video platform and integrate it into Disney+.
