KOTAKU — Earlier this week, El Tigre creator Jorge R. Gutierrez announced Punky Duck, one of a trio of new AI generated animated series being launched by Amazon.

Two days following the announcement, Gutierrez is distancing himself from the entire project.
“I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon,” posted Gutierrez. “My intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech.
