If you have been on Twitter lately, you MAY have noticed a certain ai generated animated video featuring the infamous brain rot character, Tung Tung Tung Sahur, that is going over a legal battle over whether or not ai generated brain rot characters are public domain (which is stupid, because the content wasn't made by a human, but a prompt so no copyright applies). Many artists, both pro AND anti ai, were commenting on how the generated animation looked impressive for an ai, and artists dooming about their jobs being taken from them.

I however was not impressed in the slightest, backgrounds were horribly inconsistent, characters changing location like the Lego character being behind Sahur, then below him, some standard ai mischief, and relatively poor pacing overall. But it just shows me that even artists and animators nowadays lack both tech literacy AND animation literacy, AND lack the idea that there just isn't a way to replace artists.

The most I could see ai do is mainly stuff that doesn't require too much emphasis, and not replacing the process as a whole. In regards to the people DOOMING that ai will replace animators jobs...... N-no? Like, the Disney pullout from Sora 2 happened mainly because video generation is extremely compute heavy, and expensive, especially when compared to image and text generators, and the results don't produce what Disney wanted.

All in all, don't worry too much about your job being replaced, ai can only make approximations, and calculations that are subject to error, and have to be constantly audited. Keep animating and drawing, and don't let tech giants or doomers try to tell you ai will replace us, cause, ultimately that is what they want you to think.
