AI is going to ruin it for everything. I can see the us of it in a very controlled environment, but it's going feral and it's going to ruin everything. Not just films, but for writers, actors, production workers, etc. And in the not too distant future, I can see viewers having little respect for the way things used to be. Especially as older generations age out and newer generations take a more prominent role. I mean, how many today know how to dial a traditional phone, or can write cursive, or will know or care who Hitchcock was? If animation is in trouble, that just tells me everything else is already troubled.
