Are any of these things true at scale? The two I can remember -- CGI and 3D rendered movies, were all lauded by audiences and critics as well as the industry when they emerged. The two films which brought CGI to mainstream audiences were Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, both critical hits. Toy Story was also huge with critics and no one claimed it wasn't 'real' animation. I think you are just making things up because they make a good argument.

At scale? I don't think so. Most didn't care, I remember 80's magazines questioning CGI and predicting another death of true art (no soul! computers do the job for you!!1), but that's it. Others were fascinated by the novel gimmick. But the same is true for AI-generated imagery - nobody cares in general how the sausage is made, people care about the message and execution. As long as it's good, people like it. And unlike with Toy Story/Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within/The Phantom Menace, this time there might not even be a novel gimmick/look to sell, as you'll be free to choose any style you like. GP is actually responding to @throw_pm23, and their number (losing 90% of the audience) seems arbitrary and implausible.
