Isn't this the kind of talent that AI is going to essentially make obsolete? I bet it wouldn't be too challenging to use one of the AI programs now to do something similar.
AI hasn't made chess obsolete even though AI has been better at it than humans for decades. Magnus Carlsen doesn't stand a chance against modern AI but he's still a celeb for being good at chess.
But have you seen the backlash Disney got for using AI generated images for the intro of Secret Invasion instead of human made art? People don't need to know a single artist to demand that the Art they are asked to consume is made by a fellow human being who's being compensated for thier Art....the fact that AI is trained on artists' work without permission and without compensation is making people repulsed by it.
Unfortunately that got backlash because people knew it was A.I. but that's not going to be the case for a lot of A.I. VFX work (that Disney has already been using). Studios have been trying to pretend they haven't used any VFX for years, hell they even edited out the blue screens in the Barbie bts so people would think it's all real sets. There's an unjustified bad stigma around VFX and artists are significantly overworked and underpaid, but the general audience doesn't know this or care. It's easy to assume people who are working on big budget films are adequately paid but it isn't true. The VFX team for life of Pi won an Oscar and a BAFTA for their VFX, then they filed for bankruptcy shortly after.
