Three AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.

What the hell #SDCC - really??? Isn’t your mission to help uplift comics and artists to the general public? This is outrageous and shameful. Normalizing an industry that only exists because of theft from copyrighted works. BOOOOO! #ComicCon2026

Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace! A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!
