I've seen some AI shit on Instagram that actually looks pretty good. (Read: scary and horrifying in how real it looks)
There's one named granny sparkle or something. An old woman who wears all pink everything, has money, and is sassy and hip with the young crowd by doing little dances and shit. The entire account is an AI created character but she looks like a real goddamn person.
And that's what cartoons can be, now. This is the medium.
It'll be more interesting once creative types stop performatively gagging at it and just use the tool for the thing it does. You can do as much work as you like, the hard way, and then use this tech to make up the difference. It's powerful enough to go straight to a finished shot from a description. Of course it'll work on real actors and half-assed sets.
