“If you’re looking to get into animation as a career, you have less than five years.
Why?
- DALL-E 2 and other AI art models can now produce a near-infinite variety of illustrations using a simple text prompt. By 2025, they’ll outperform human artists on every metric.
- AI animation models already exist that can take a static illustration and “imagine” different movements, poses, and frames. You can make the Mona Lisa smile, laugh, or cry – and there’s nothing stopping you from doing that to other images, too.
- AI video models are right around the corner. Soon, studios will be able to create smooth videos of any framerate with nothing more than a text prompt. Short films will be next.
