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.
"I already got the blessings of both creators"
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say both Jhonen and Rob had no clue Jorge was about to announce he was doing an AI Project before they gave that "blessing"...
Nothing to get out. You knew the price, you knew the cost, and did it anyway. You’re developing three other programs and it wasnt enough? Disappointment is an understatement. It goes against why we tell stories, why we motivate and move people. You discarded something priceless..
Not a single person is happy for you, you hack. AI has screwed over millions of animators, and here you are, taking money from Amazon without a care in the world. You're not an artist, you're a fraud!
How to ruin a sterling reputation in the animation community in literally less than five minutes
Jorge, what are you doing man? You had everyone in your corner supporting you at almost all times.
You've made some amazing things, this will not be one of them.
When I met Jorge at Momocon last week, we talked about the rise of indie art & how TV has struggled recently.
He VERY quickly & with a sense of happy certainty said to me & my girlfriend "TV Animation is dead!"
It sounded courageous, but now I wonder if fear is a factor too...
‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement.
She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.
‘El Tigre’ creator Jorge R. Gutierrez says he has been in active discussions with Paramount on a revival of the series.
He also revealed he wants to include ‘Invader Zim’ and ‘My Life as a Teenage Robot’ in the project, saying he already has the blessing of both creators.
Every few months I see people trying to rehab Stephanie Meyer and Twilight and I'm here to remind everyone that she profited massively off the Quileute tribe, the book is her mormon sexual frustration fantasy and is preaching abstinence, and she's racist. STOP.
No, but let’s talk about it, because this is becoming a repeated anti-media rhetorical tactic. In a report about her conduct, I published the full name and former job of a prolific social media account that was referenced during the Depp v Heard trial.
