2moI find both Sam and Jeffrey's points valid. I've worked with Sam and his teams who are undoubtedly creative and irreplaceable. Once, while having lunch with Jeffrey, then at Dreamworks, we discussed our respective costs per minute for content creation. His was 100 times mine, a scale that perhaps shouldn't change. We need beautifully handcrafted stories from creative individuals. Yet, there's a place where AI can significantly scale an animator's efforts. Historically, tools have always aided animators in creating faster and better. Many people don't realize that early animations were made by painting on glass sheets and photographing the artwork. This technique, known as the "multiplane camera", was invented by Disney in 1933. Today, similar animations can be created 100 times faster using computers. Both Sam and Jeffrey make nuanced and compelling arguments. Ultimately, I believe AI will become a tool, like the multiplane camera, that creatives use to tell wonderful stories.
