I'm excited to see the first brand new content from an existing series. I really love the 80's cartoon Inspector Gadget. There are about 100 episodes and they are all pretty repetitive (so hopefully easy to train AI with). I would be enthralled if someone could create new episodes with:
- AI generated storyline
- Deepfake the original actors voices
- Deepfake the animation, which should(?) be easier (more realistic) than the video deepfakes.
This could be so cool, "hey AI, make an Inspector Gadget espisode where the dog gets lost in the forest and Uncle Gadget eats magic mushrooms he finds while trying to find him"
Inspector Gadget was propaganda? Get Smart. The 80s had great TV shows, lots of Goodies like Black Adder. 90s gave us South Park, Simpsons, and many other highly entertaining gems.

That actually increases their credibility in my eyes. Someone with genuine, real-world-useful talent is involved in this?

This sounds incredibly fitting for a cryptocurrency.
Im not sure how it is today but when I grew up in Finland in the 80s all the most popular tv-series for kids where in English only. Of the top of my head: The Transformers, Inspector Gadget, M.A.S.K., He-Man, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Care bears, Smurfs, Postman pat, DJ Kat show, and then non-cartoon shows like like MacGyver, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Quantum Leap, Rescue 911, etc.
We also watched some some non-English tv shows like the Swedish "Bjornes magasin" and the Finnish "Pikku Kakkonen". But these shows where not as cool and not as plentiful as those English tv shows.
Couldn't the TV show inspector gadget be considered prior art?
