‘El Tigre' co-creator Jorge R. Gutierrez has dropped out of Amazon’s new GenAI program after backlash
“I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words”
“My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward”
@fyredark Maybe. But I just don’t think they care much about our opinion, and actions speak louder than words. If we show them we’re not going to watch it, then they won’t make more
And when these “shows” come out, NO ONE watch them. Don’t interact. Don’t review. Don’t hate watch. Don’t clip. Don’t make a video essay talking about how bad they are. Complete blackout. Pretend it doesn’t exist.
That’s the only way we’re going to win this.
Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the first projects greenlit through its GenAI Creators’ Fund, an initiative aimed at giving creators access to professional-grade AI tools and funding for cinematic entertainment.
The first animated projects include ‘Cupcake & Friends’ from BuzzFeed Studios, ‘Love, Diana Music Hunters’ from Albie Hecht, and ‘Punky Duck’ from Jorge R. Gutierrez.
There are currently 3 ongoing/upcoming Kickstarters for Black-led animated projects to support:
• The Three Tomes by @breanimator
• FLY by @jay_rayart
• HEY by ToonrificTariq

Pope Leo XIV on AI:
“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
