Ahoy there, mateys! ’Tis a tale of tempestuous seas in the realm of AI, where artists be stormin’ the deck against the scallywags at OpenAI! The unpaid beta testers, dubbed the ‘red teamers,’ have unleashed a ruckus, exposin’ the treasure known as Sora, a fancy new AI video maker.

In a survey, 77% of art collectors think fair pay be the way! Even Hiscox be talkin’ ‘bout how AI art often borrows from human creativity without a single doubloon in return!
