"When the teaser for "Chrome Alone 2: Lost in New Jersey," a new short film starring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was released, an early complaint on the internet was a brief moment where tech-savvy Donatello consults with ChatGPT on what to get father-figure Master Splinter for Christmas. Cries of character assassination that the super smart Donnie would have to ask an AI algorithm for advice could be found all over Twitter."
"As it turns out, Donnie's flirtation with ChatGPT isn't just a throwaway; it's the whole plot of the delightful short, which pits the Turtles against Chrome Dome (voiced by Zach Woods), an AI menace using generative AI to rip off the Turtles' likeness and sell ripoff toy versions of them for profit. Like a lot of " Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles " media, the short has its tongue firmly planted in cheek,"
Donatello briefly consults ChatGPT about a gift, which becomes central to the plot of the short 'Chrome Alone 2: Lost in New Jersey.' The Turtles confront Chrome Dome, an AI antagonist voiced by Zach Woods, who uses generative AI to copy the Turtles' likeness and sell cheap knockoff toys. The short mixes cheeky humor with a clear message that AI cannot replace human creativity. The film will screen before 'The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.' Animator Kent Seki makes his directorial debut after serving as head of cinematography on 'Mutant Mayhem.' Seki credits Ramsey Naito for giving him the directing opportunity.
