The exciting question is what comes after animated films?
Animated films will always exist as an art form and be cheaper to create, but all these animators are going be using AI tools and creating things that have never been seen before.
We’ve seen this before…Photography didn’t get rid of Painters. It created a whole new content category and associated industry.
Desktop publishing Apps, didn’t get rid of traditional print and type setting professionals who had been around for centuries. It lead to the biggest boom in design and publishing, employing more people, since the invention of print.
I think what we can safely anticipate is that entirely new industries, products and areas of creativity will be created. It’s not a zero sum game where industries are just destroyed – new as yet unimagined ones are created.
Can’t wait!
Been there…

He also contends that over half of societal work is pointless, and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth.
