Amazon Unveils AI-Animated 'Good Advice Cupcake' Series Amid Creator's Frustration

Amazon has announced an animated TV series featuring its beloved character, Good Advice Cupcake, which is being produced using artificial intelligence (AI). The show is part of a new partnership between the e-commerce giant and BuzzFeed, but Loryn Brantz, the original creator of the character, is furious over the lack of involvement from her. According to sources close to the matter, Amazon secured the rights to Good Advice Cupcake without consulting or obtaining permission from Brantz, who had originally developed the concept for a web series titled “The Good Advice Cupcake” years ago. The move has left Brantz feeling disrespected and betrayed, as she was not given any input on the direction of the new project or its production process.
