\n\tThe creator of Cuppy, the star of the web series<\/a> The Good Advice Cupcake<\/em>, is calling out BuzzFeed for selling the character to Amazon for an AI-created animated series.<\/p>\n

\n\tLoryn Brantz took to her Instagram, saying she\u2019s \u201chorrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an AI platform.\u201d Brantz initially developed Cuppy as a comic during her time at BuzzFeed before it was adapted into an animated web series by animator and voice actor Kyra Kupetsky.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news<\/a> that this character, who is based on my own personality<\/em> and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless AI puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrantz concluded, \u201cSomebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happ<\/a>ening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not. This is an assault on artists everywhere. I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any AI-produced or adjacent animation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier Wednesday, Amazon announced that it has greenlit three projects emerging from its GenAI Creators Fund, which will give filmmakers, digital creators and technology<\/a> startups access to Amazon\u2019s AI tools and funding to produce \u201chigh-quality cinematic entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCupcake & Friends<\/em> from Buzzfeed Studios was among the three original animated series that will use Amazon\u2019s Project Nara platform, a new production tool on Amazon Web Services that features AI tools.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlbert Cheng, head of AI Studios for Amazon MGM Studios, previously told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> of Project Nara, \u201cWhat it tries to do is it streamlines and facilitates the end-to-end workflows of what we do, but also leverages the existing applications that professionals already know about.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTHR<\/em> has reached out to Amazon and BuzzFeed for comment but did not hear back at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
