Is AI taking animators jobs?

AI animation tools are increasingly used to automate certain tasks, which can change the workflow for animators.

They may work with machine learning models, motion capture data, and animation software to produce realistic or stylized animations efficiently. This role often requires knowledge of animation principles, programming, and AI technologies.
