Greetings from /co/
They don't want to admit that every job (IE transition frames, inking, and ultimately keyframers) that would be replaced by AI already got outsourced to the Philippines in the lat 90's and every single motherfucker in the American animation industry pulled the ladder up behind them and the only way for a fat spic like vizziepop or woman who made a Tumblr OC original pitch for star butterfly to get a cartoon deal is through sucking a lot of penises.

Shit like Steven universe didn't even have keyframers drawn in the US, the gaggle of fat lesbians and troons send raw storyboards overseas where the whole show was made by sweatshop animators. The number of shows with even the pre production being entirely US based made a year could be counted on one hand, the entirety of the animation work credits go to at most a additional work by [flips that made the whole thing] buried under the HR ladies and chief diversity officers.

When AI frame knitting becomes a stable diffusion plugin for aftereffects what these industry people and their bosses are actually afraid of is some rando making the next Murdock Murdock with the production value of Mindy kalings Velma from nothing but a rtx4090. Conventional animation becoming accessible to the single man means competition and competition means propaganda doesn't survive. Kids of 2035 could be watching cartoons rendered by their own parents and bluey because the Aussies haven't added troons to it (yet). Flash animation and 3D have also been equalizers in access to animation production but the barrier to entry will drop significantly once someone can turn some prompts and grease pencil sketches into a short that'd take a year for one man in a week of fucking around. It's already happened to 2D, no one knows it because the people generating good work just aren't Indian.
