    It’s a stupid promise.

    Some jobs will be eliminated by AI, new technology wipes out jobs all the time. We needed people to manually connect wires to connect phone calls, and we automated that away.

    I’m excited that the tedious technical parts of animation are getting automated, this gives the artists more time to work on the art. We use computer generated graphics all the time, we use digital production workflows, we don’t manually paint frames anymore, unless we explicitly choose to for stylistic reasons.

    If the animation isn’t just right, the artist can tweak it. The art isn’t lost because the artist used a modern tool. It’s the soulless garbage used by money hungry gouls that will be entirely generated from a couple text prompts, and the result will show it.

    There’s a huge difference between implementing a new tool into your workflows to cut down animation hours and days to minutes, and delegating the whole artistic production process to the tool.

      As an animator? If I can automate some of the extremely tedious in-betweening for things like ruffles on elaborately over-designed magical girl costumes, or background fire, that would be great. But let me breathe life and soul into these characters with my own two hands.
