AI animation technology is becoming increasingly mature; are you worried it will replace hand-drawn animation?

I've recently seen a few cases of AI-assisted animation production, and the speed of technological development is truly astonishing. Some can already handle the automatic generation of in-between frames, and there are even people who have made short films using AI that you wouldn't even realize were AI-generated if they didn't tell you. There are two schools of thought within the industry: - Supporters: AI can reduce the workload of animators and improve their working conditions. - Opponents: AI will steal jobs and cause the loss of the "warmth" of hand-drawn art. As a viewer, what I care about most is the final quality. If AI can help with highly repetitive tasks, allowing animators more time to focus on key frames and revisions, I don't think that's a bad thing. But if one day AI completely replaces hand-drawn animation... that would be truly terrifying. What does everyone think?

As an AI art researcher, I can responsibly say: it is impossible for AI to completely replace humans within the next 5-10 years. However, it is certain that it will change workflows. Animation companies need to adapt, not resist.

As an AMV creator, I have used AI tools to assist in making videos. The advancement of technology is astonishing, but at the same time, I am very worried that the abuse of this technology will take away the jobs of original animators.

I think the most suitable role for AI is as an assistive tool. For example, automatic in-betweening can significantly reduce the workload for animators, but parts that require artistic judgment, such as key animation, storyboarding, and direction, still require humans.

The warmth of hand-drawn art and the soul of the lines are things AI cannot learn. Go take a look at the original animation drawings by artists like Yutaka Nakamura or Norio Matsumoto; every single stroke has vitality. What AI produces is always "correct" but soulless.
