What's interesting is that between AI art generation and content platforms with monetization like (Youtube, etc.) - it could actually level the playing field for content creators creating actual high quality anime. Currently large studios likely have the upper hand because they can have teams of artists on staff to handle the background art, intro sequences and the supporting HR and management overhead.
