I’m a little confused about what you’re responding to with your last point. Are you saying I’m gatekeeping some X without doing X? In any case I agree taking grunt work out of artistic production is like to be good in some ways. But also I feel like the changes are going to be so deep that it’ll sort of render those questions moot. Like if expert-level beautiful animation is generatable at the click of a button, and you know it’s AI generated, it’ll change how it feels to consume that animation I think, to a degree that overwhelms anything else. I think people want to feel the hand of the artist and art creation will bend around that need. Though it’s also possible I’m over-generalizing from my own experience.
