I suspect the end result here will actually be fairly comparable to post-slavery agriculture, in that technology will eliminate a lot of these jobs. Tough to imagine that GenAI doesn't have an enormous impact on anime over the next few years.

It depends a lot on the culture there. 1) there are actual labor laws in Japan, so they can't just cut off 90% of their workforce at the snap of the finger 2) there is a much stronger culture of conformity in Japan. So it is much easier to shame a company when getting negative PR in Japan and those complaints can overcome raw profits. Also, tech wise AI is at least 5 years out from anything animated. What I've seen in motion so far is extremely crude.

We went from nothing to AlphaGo to ChatGPT to Midjourney et al within a few years, with the timespan between each shortening.
