El Tigre Creator Backs Away From AI Amazon Cartoon After One Day Of Guillermo Del Toro Subtweets

Jorge R. Gutierrez announced an AI-generated Amazon animated series, then said he would leave the project after backlash.

The criticism intensified as Guillermo del Toro defended human-made animation and rejected AI-driven creative shortcuts.

Loryn Brantz said BuzzFeed used her character in an AI project without her input or permission, fueling concerns over creator rights.

The backlash reflects growing resistance in animation to AI projects that appear to sideline or exploit original artists.
