A lot of the defence of AI from industry execs has focused on how it will do the jobs that creatives don't want. A former Netflix producer has now taken that further with a pretty bold statement.
Taiki Sakurai, who was executive producer on Pokémon Concierge and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and now heads animation studio Salamander Inc, has suggested that animators themselves are in favour of AI. They don't want to have to draw by hand, he says (although they'll still need to turn AI's drawing to video in the best animation software).
