I'm not sure eli5 means what you think it means. 5 year olds generally don't understand the concept of fucking.

This sounds suspiciously like some sort of recruitment strategy for the politically vulnerable.

I can see where you're going with this. The argument most people have is that AI will reduce the need for humans but they fail to consider the possibility that instead it might instead simply increase the output of humans.

So far, in my line of work as a Web programmer, AI already plays a role in allowing me to create more code in less time. In practice this makes me feel more productive rather than redundant.

When applied to animation, I imagine this will allow both the amateur to produce more (the memes will get better) and the production capacity of professionals will increase (more TV, movies, etc). Extrapolating that, I fear for the writing room because they're going to have one hell of a job making sure the machine produces anything more valuable than complete nonsense :p

Given the last decade of relentless Marvel, Pixar and Lucas Arts content from Disney, I expect they have gotten a good formula for lowest-energy per population entertainment necessary to keep making the big bucks.

From there it's just a simple case of using those bucks to spot disruptive competition and buy it out or pivot to out-compete.
