AI and Fandom: AI tools can let fans create AI gen content for toys, games and new IP
However, most Hollywood studios film/TV IP owners currently don't want fans to use gen AI with their characters/ IP.

it will be very hard for IP holders to control their IP, but also hard for creators to make money from fan creations
i really like what @wideworlds_ is doing. they make IP holders feel in control while people can create content and make money from it. which is inevitable

Sneak peak: We’re rolling out a Fan Edits tool to a few customers for beta testing.
Fan edits are insanely viral, but surprisingly hard for most fans to make.
You have to find clips, download footage, cut videos, and assemble the edit. Basically the job of a digital archivist.
We’re making it easy for every fan to create endless edits.
And brands can now provide curated media libraries to their top fans and reward them for creating.
DM for early access!
We just upgraded the Wide Worlds Stories Editor.
Fans can now build sequential stories and stitch them into narrative videos in a playful, streamlined interface.
The twist: it’s non-deterministic.
You don’t have to know how the story ends.
Our story engine suggests the next frames and story beats so fans can literally choose their own adventure, all within your brand's lore and guardrails.
Fun, fast, fan-first.
During the quiet time between releases, fans have a deep NEED to keep their favorite worlds alive.
For marketers this need creates a useful opportunity.
Now that content creation is so easy, brands can start treating this fan behavior as an always-on engagement machine.
Brands fighting AI fan media are fighting a loosing battle. Creative tools are getting easier to build and the models are getting open sourced. Theres no going back.
Now is the time for brands to sanction it, improve it, and guide it in a way that assists their marketing goals.
Take My Muffin fans are pitching some wild startup ideas alongside the main characters from the show.
