Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Seedance 2.0: because what the world really needed was another AI model to generate videos that might, just might, infringe on someone’s copyright. The launch follows a familiar script: shiny new tech, promises of innovation, and a healthy dose of “we’ll figure out the copyright thing later.” The fact that Hollywood is already pushing back is no surprise. After all, who needs original content when you can just generate it with an AI? The real question is, how long before Seedance 2.0 becomes the go-to tool for “homages” and “tributes” that just happen to look suspiciously like someone else’s work?
