Nick Saraev – How AI Will Completely Dominate the Animation Industry In Less Than 5 Years

“If you’re looking to get into animation as a career, you have less than five years.

Why?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
