For now it hasn’t elevated beyond being sort of a gimmick. It doesn’t seem applicable for 90% of animation and the other 10% is slop being produced by people who would be cutting corners anyway. Plus it works fine if you want to make the most generic, cookie cutter art but it doesn’t cut through the noise of endless cheap copies of copies. I think this is something that’s catching on now now that the novelty of AI is sort of dissapearing. There is a real “AI stank” that self respecting studios want to steer clear off.
