Slavery ended as industrialized agriculture was taking off. While farmers are paid better now, there are a lot fewer of them.

Perhaps we will see the same with animation; there will be a few well-paid and highly-skilled artists that are automating with a bunch of AI. I doubt that will be the solution to equality though.




US and other first world countries such as S.Korea still have slave labor agriculture, it's a fact and it's still economical


It does not seem outside the bounds of reason that all the ‘in-between’ stuff gets done with AI. At that point you only still need your keyframes.

Doesn’t really make things much cheaper because the people drawing those in-between frames are already paid peanuts :/
