אמנים לאפקטים מיוחדים ומנימטורים

As an artist, I'd give some doubt to this because I've seen the ropes done behind animation. Sure, AI can recreate animation, but at the same time it will not hold a candle to the quality human-made animation has. The way it constantly shifts between several art styles because it farms stolen media it's been fed which leads to major inconsistencies. Much more, it's rather impossible to make an "original" animated short made entirely out of AI. Why? Consistency (and originality) are the reason. I find that AI "generalizes" images to be able to create an image, which is difficult especially when it comes to pushing facial expressions because AI needs to farm hundreds of images to "understand" how to recreate the image. I don't think it's possible in the long run either because at some point in time IF society and the industry as a whole decides to just USE AI for everything, there's gonna be a lot of "inbreeding" happening. AI will feed on other AI because there's not gonna be anymore human-made images it can freely farm off of which results to the most whacked quality you'd think of. AI will make the most general looking animation that can ever exist, but that thing will lack the soul, the humanity, human-made animations have.

This requires soul and robots can’t replicate the soul that humans produce. Bad or otherwise.

I saw a lot of highly likely comments, so as an artist I thought I should give my point of view.
I don’t think ai can replace these types of jobs as if you wanted to actually make a movie or series, you would still need a good plot and a storyboard and color for at least one frame and for the ending and beginning scene or else how would you make a movie that follows the exact plot and looks that you want. (if your an in-between artists.. uhhhh-)
an example would be any ghibli film. even if ai were to create a movie and make it look exactly the same, it’s not as appealing because every ghibli film not only takes years to make but uses traditional animation and hand draw each frame and that’s what makes it appealing and different from other films not because an ai made it in just 5 seconds.

AI is terrible at being specific and that is very important in animation

No chance, anime is way better and ai will never replace what we love

originality and high quality

copyright and laws and stuff

With the amount of new technology and AI coming through the years, people may think about robotic replacement in the industry of artists/designers. I don’t completely agree with them (maybe because I do want to make it my job in the future) but there will always have a limit and as we all know, technology, AI, computer, programming, etc… are made by humans. For me, technology should assist humans, doing daily task for example. But not replace them. And as we all says, they don’t have the originality, creativity of human being.

Because they cannot copy human depth and emotion! Its not the same if ai does it meaning less market for animated movies so companies would be losing profit. It will not happen

As much as AI is improving fast, prompts might just have to be too complex and too extensive to produce the desired outcome. Minimal technical knowledge will be needed to properly maintain quality.

The problem with AI replacing animators isn't about how well AI can animate. AI just takes pre-existing stuff, throws it in a blender, & imitates it as best it can. It will never be animation because it's an imatation.
The REAL problem is the greedy corporate executives that want to save as much as possible by replacing animators.

Robots cannot give the passion and everything human gives to a animation, THE ART CANNOT BE TAKEN BY THE ROBOTS!

cause human animations are way ahead than the animation made by robot.. even though it may take some of the work but it cant completely replace humans...

cause AI and robots can help with making animations but cant be original

Ai generated videos were kinda bad and a person with mediocre movements and they lack the capacity developements hell nah just think about alan beckers developements for youtube animatings he did a good job on that imagine asking ai to make a stick figure how will do it? instead they draw a litteral stick and can they do tom and jerry? instead they draw a real human person named tom and jerry or could be a cat and a mouse it depends.

Frankly... AI-generated animation stinks

While complex AI has the ability replace us in some distant future, that does not mean we as individuals should stop creating art. We will always have the capacity to create and express ourselves, even if we cannot churn out work as quickly as a computer. AI art will always stem from human ingenuity, even if it does surpass us in the technical areas of visual media.

Everyone here is looking at this from the perspective of a creative. I am also in that bucket, but when the bean counters see something cheaper and more efficient the little nuances and facets of human beauty and creativity will not be considered.
A powerful and forceful director/CEO/MD on board could swing that in human creativity's favour, but look at all the areas in production where the money goes for the lowest common denominator.
Art and money are not good bedfellows and AI art like plastic and industrial streamlining are where we are headed unfortunately.( IMHO.)While we got a bit cleverer at being efficient we will also get A LOT cheaper a lot saddder and A LOT more unpleasant on the eye!

From DaVinci to plastic impressions and AI interpretations of beauty.
I'm thinking of the film Brazil and a horrendous retail park I visited in LA! Gaudy gossip magazines cheap toy shops and the show Black Mirror!

you'll be replaced by AI if the client is okay with 'good enough' . but you won't if the client needs minor detail adjustments and lots of precision and control

Originality is valued in animation and now that demand for original animations is growing it is highly unlikely that this job can get automated
