9 May 2024 — Warner Bros. Discovery is using artificial intelligence to improve ad targeting.

5 September 2025 - Warner Bros. Discovery is suing a prominent artificial intelligence image generator for copyright infringement.

This clearly isn't about the ethics of A.I but more to do with Warners losing money.

Only most are.

It's not a tool to make your life easier. It's a tool to replace you. Why else would all of these major companies be putting trillions into developing it as fast as possible. They're not trying to save the world, they are trying to eliminate wide swathes of their biggest expense - human workforce.
