the other side of this. more people will be able to create their own animated films without requiring studios, execs and all the gatekeeping and bs that comes with that. that's why i think the future really will be in content curation. unless these companies can find a way to block the average person from having access to the same level tools. which i think they will try and they probably can to some extent.

Yep. Maybe there will be a net reduction in jobs but I can't help but feel like catastrophic 90% reductions involve "lump of labor"-type fallacies where we just imagine taking the given set of work being done and imagine how much of that will be handled via AI vs. humans in 5 or 10 years or whatever. When the reality is that good AI tools will cause lots of projects to add video content where it wasn't before, or to spend more time creating high-quality video content. And this will undoubtedly involve some new labor.

So we will get a lot a bad animation movies and and will be harder to find the good ones.

  I think everything is getting like this though, music, art, everything? Even trying to find something worth watching on Netflix is already so hard for me I just don't bother. I usually just default to watching classics because I can trust they're worth watching. Once there is unlimited content, maybe I'll just go outside and watch the stars or something.

    Maybe we'll come full circle back to the 80's and 90's movie scene where you had movie stars and directors who people would go to the movies to see, and for each of these you have about 100,000 2 hour AI generated movies with bland content that will have 100 views each. If that's the outcome, it's not as dystopic I think... I mean already now you have an incredibly large fraction of sh*t on spotify, netflix etc. Will it matter if it goes up another factor of 1000x? Meanwhile hopefully the really creative and interesting content creators will leverage the AI stuff to further take the art forward. They have much more ways to test out alternatives and scenes before committing to a $250M production shoot for example..

  attention is limited so content has to get either shorter (like tiktok) or better quality. the bottleneck (as now) will be awareness. thats why content curation is important so the question is who will be the gatekeepers of awareness. right now its centralised platforms and influencer marketing. maybe in future decentralised platforms will allow you distrubute content and get paid. something like farcaster is maybe a preview of that.
