Maybe it’s not so much about the technical part, but more on the legal part? Sure, they can use generative tech to do this and continue to improve upon it, but they don’t have permissions yet and this proposal is just to cover their bases. Hopefully SAG can shut it down completely, as one can presume that this looks like a “door-in-the-face” technique, and the industry will keep tuning the proposal until some actors give in and have big enough checks, which could then cascade to affect the whole industry.
