Is there a future for AI in anime?
You can call it soulless slop, but AI is starting to generate pretty decent looking anime/manga-style imagery. Since animation is mostly digital these days anyway, how long before studios start aggressively using AI? I don't think we're very far off from an industrial paradigm shift.

Maybe in some years, but right now the cost of buying or renting the hardware needed to produce at least 20m of 4k footage AND the human labor required to correct the many errors of AI-made content and make it look consistent is higher than the cost of hiring more korean slaves to animate the same amount of content.

The vast majority of outsourced animation work is done in one city in China.

No, corporations are just going to move to the next crypto scam.

I never would've guessed even 4 years ago that AI would come as far as it has especially in art and language, so who knows what it will be able to do in the future. currently though it seems like it's reaching a plateau in
art because there's not much more training material to feed it and not much more improvement to be made in the algorithm. with the current algorithm all the big AI use, there's no logical reasoning happening under the hood, it's not learning skills or understanding what it's doing in any meaningful way, it's just a very powerful pattern recognizer and replicator. so anything it does well has to be trained into it with lots and lots of examples, and conversely anything that's very new or innovative will be a big weakness for it. (same goes for writing software).
that being said, how much anime is actually new and innovative? I'm sure within 5 years AI will be able to write, direct, animate and voice act seasonal moeslop and isekaislop. and it'll be far cheaper than humans so
they'll definitely use it.

Why yes, let's fire all talented animators (the couple that are left) and let's switch to mediocre looking slop that the masses will accept anyway and that was trained on the hard work of thousands of artists who get absolutely nothing for it.
Corporatism won.

I like some AI art, but anything with food makes my skin crawl

hopefully the cost of mecha shows goes to zero. Rendering geometric objects seems much harder for humans than for machines
Ideally sunrise can hand the AI some ebikawa lineart and then spend the rest of the budget on the writers

Yes, one day it will happen and will still need humans behind AI. Hoever it's not today.
