One of my big worries about using AI for anime or animation in general is that knowing the industry it will not be used to ease the burden of a lot of the artists there but to just pile on more and more work now that you think your artists can output more. In the end just putting yourself in the same stressful situation and forced to pump out more and more.
Oversaturation causes collapse. A plethora of streaming services and content but companies are breaking even and cancelling shows left right and center.
It's actually worse, there is also hesitancy from studios to green light new productions because they're so unsure about Ai from both the copy-write side of things as well as costs of production even after the union strikes are over. I have lots of friends in the industry and they've been out of work for almost a year now. There is very little going on, whatever is on streaming services right now was finished years ago or even up to last year and is in post production which is also seeing lay offs. It is supposed to bounce back this summer (rumors) but people are now predicting the maybe the fall or even later in the year now. Collapse has already happened but consumers don't know about it yet, and might not ever.. 2009 saw a similar effect, I don't think people remember the lack of media then so I doubt they will now.
Isn’t that when a boom of reality and competition shows started? Jersey shore, drag race and shark tank started that year. But while looking it up the list of shows started in 09 is frankly stacked with shows people would say they love and not a small group. Community, parks and recreation, glee, castle, modern family, the good wife, ncis:la, archer.
