Amazon Is Making an AI-Animated ‘Good Advice Cupcake’ TV Show. Its Original Creator Is Furious
TL;DR
Loryn Brantz created The Good Advice Cupcake for BuzzFeed years ago. The company licensed the character for a new Amazon series—made with AI—without her consent.

Nauti's Take
AI animation enabling new series formats fast and cheap is technically exciting progress for studios. The risk is serious: reusing a character without its creator's consent puts copyright and fair pay under pressure.
Nauti sees opportunity in production but calls for clear licensing and revenue-sharing rules for creators.
