The downvotes in this thread are hilarious, but everything you say is spot on.
AI is the future, and as a toolset for improving pipeline efficiency, it's an absolute God-send.
The amount of work it nullifies (in the right hands) is uncanny. Good artists -- as you note -- will use it to drastically speed up a number of ways in which voice acting, music composition, sound editing, and animation cells are produced, not unlike how fill-frames in 3D animation drastically speeds up the keyframe animation process.
Every time I mention this in animation communities there are liberal faggots everywhere decrying how AI is just "slop" and would never be used for animations. Within a few years anyone who isn't using AI as part of their toolkit within their workflow will be left behind.
I'm just waiting on Japanese animators to realise they can finally get back to making fluid, highly detailed works like in the late 80s and early 90s in cost-effective ways, all thanks to he help of AI filling in frames instead of working those poor animators to the bone for 16 hours a day.
The same ones who downvote, also would have downvoted the concept of typewriter. It removes all "soul" from calligraphy! It conglomerates a hundred different ways of people writing letters into one frankensteinian too-clean typeset! It's robbing the important jobs of calligraphists and copysetters!
And yes, it is, and does. And yet, they'll use a computer keyboard over writing by hand, 99.99999% of the time.
It is nowhere near as bad as a shithole like reddit, but even on this board there are plenty of people who have a stick up their ass about AI. Two things can be true at the same time:
The current (and forthcoming) iterations of AI are revolutionary in their ability to increase productivity in capable hands. Most people shitting on it act like it is a failure because it isn't perfect or because it doesn't fit their preconceived notion of what AI is that they picked up from sci-fi. But its imperfections do not nullify the sheer magnitude of productivity increase one can extract from it if they are capable.
"AI" has become a buzzword and the vast majority of people and companies are not utilizing it effectively. The insane levels of capital expenditure directed toward data centers is unlikely to be worth it in the long run. The AI craze has formed a bubble and the pop and resulting fallout will be interesting to watch.
