When digital effects and CGI began to replace stop-motion monster effects in movies, the stop motion artists screamed that art made on a computer was not art, and that their industry would be lost.
Nowadays we know better, not only is digital art accepted everywhere on earth, it's almost expected, and as for the stop-motion folks, they're still in business! Movies still come out every year, some of them with huge budgets (like Coraline) that use stop-motion because it has a certain look and feel that is all its own. AI art will only get better, but so will the ways we use it, and the people who are actually ARTISTS will be the furthest ahead, and leading the way.

Corridor Crew with John Berton Jr. ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0078237/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0078237/ ) https://youtu.be/j8JgN_srwCc?t=921 https://youtu.be/j8JgN_srwCc?t=921 discuss the change and how Phil Tippett ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Tippett https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Tippett ) who was the "master of dinosaur animation" changed the industry... And the first thing that they did was hire him as the animation director and other stop motion artists. This wasn't a "they were out a job" - it was a they changed how they did what they did.
