As nice as it to see Jorge Gutierrez drop the AI project, it left a bad taste in my mouth. He knew what he was getting into. He was vehemently anti-AI just last year and still proudly announced this project. He wasn’t ignorant. He knew how bad AI was.
Jorge R. Gutierrez says animating with AI was like “having sex and then they hand you the baby” during his appearance at the AI on the Lot convention.
He currently has a project named ‘Punky Duck’ through Amazon MGM’s GenAI Creators’ Fund, an initiative aimed at giving creators access to professional-grade AI tools and funding for cinematic entertainment.
art communities never used to feel this elitist. i miss creation without scrutiny. not everyone wants to study anatomy or color theory. some ppl just wanna draw. we have bigger fish to fry with gen ai taking over everything, why is everyone acting mightier than thou about ART? 😭
