I think the best we can hope for, at least for the foreseeable future, is a workflow where you ask the AI to do a thing it gets it 80% right (someone who's good at writing prompts might even have it get a bit more correct) and then manually correct the things that it didn't get exactly like we wanted them. I think we're quite far from replacing skilled professionals entirely, but making them a lot more productive is within reach!

Sounds promising. In a way. But perhaps I was hoping for the other 20% to be made for me, to tidy up the remaining 20% of the whole that takes 80% of the time usually and is tedious, boring fiddling with loose pieces progressing slowly after the bulk is done. I like the automation for the soul crushing, tedious, and repetitive tasks. So can concentrate on the essence. (an evolving actual trouble of mine nowadays is that when I do something then the predictive algorithms suggest too much that diverts attention in 80% of the cases but only being useful in 20% of the situations. as creating something new does not fit into the usual logic, and it cannot read my mind, it has no chance figuring out mostly. but is in my face constanctly. so this plenty of help is starting to get in the way towards the goal. ... but I believe this is just a dark UX trend that product manufacturers tend to force their expensive built competition fuelled spectacular presented predictive functionality on us, put it into our face, not just lingering around to jump on a call for it. a recent annoyance is the default settings of a predictive editing tool that puts right in the suggestions instead of mere suggesting it in the attempt of making it the fastest ever functionality possible, I don't even think about it and it is already there, wow square times amazing, looks pretty in marketing material, but is in the way, breaking my flow, need to go back and fix what the tool does, need to revert, need to fiddle with settings a lot to turn off, and off, and off all the very advance and spectacular help that does not really help, just the opposite, making me the underling finishing details for the master)

This obviously depends on context, but taking someone else's 3d model from partial to finished is often slower than starting over from scratch, because of topological considerations. For a random piece of environment, it's probably a good workflow, but for hero objects, where topology is downstream from the art direction, I'm not sure you get much time savings from a partially-complete model. Of course, there may be workarounds to topological speedbumps with respect to deformation/animation, texture, detail, etc, that would make the 80% right 3d model very useful.
