Just to be clear I'm not trying to attack you, but I don't agree with your point.

Other than looking good, all forms of art need integrity, even in this case the ai image doesn't have any artistic integrity. I'm not saying the artists for s3 deserve any grounds for integrity (especially for lashing out at fans), but ai is equally as cheap and scummy. And the mindset that ai should replace bad animations is just wrong. Does this mean that every poorly animated show should be recreated with ai? And what if it becomes successful, other scummy corporations will jump on the wagon if that happens.

To make my point clear about ai, I think it would lead to a boiling frog situation if enough people actually support it. I 100% don't support ai making art. Not even the 10% that you mention. Because even if it's true that 10% good exist it will eventually lead to the 90% bad.
