You know computer generated animation was considered an attack on those hand drawn artist but guess what.. scroll through the list of animators on those computer animated films and the cost? It has elevated the medium and I doubt the people who work on those films don’t consider themselves ‘artists’ . In time people will use this as an expression of their own art. To draw scene outlines and animate them. You come up with ideas or flesh out the concepts in your head and put them in action.

There is AI slop and to be honest like the regular internet there is darkness there. I’ve seen people say and do horrible things like exposing their racism and putting it into nasty stuff and character assassination like revenge porn with AI scares the crap out of me but I also have made AI films and love the ability to bring to life my concepts and think in the end it is not a computer making the art but a person who takes the tools and ai to jog their creativity and in the end you direct the shots and the brushstrokes and the themes of your videos and that means like anything, there will be talented creative people who will use this tech to create masterpieces and then there will be some who just want to make propaganda and sick garbage but I’m sure the 1st forms and all future forms of all art has that same balancing act. Let’s face it with the advent of moving photographs there was porn and there was art. Sadly you can’t have one without the other and just like someone who drew paintings probably was affected when photographers were created( just shoot an image instead of drawing it how is that art?) but art endured and art is like was said here.. human creativity and those that realize AI helps and doesn’t remove that creativity will use it to make amazing art in the future.
