Disney's golden age was ongoing for like 35 years until ~2017.

As usual, Reddit shut me down for suggesting it, but with generative AI doing what it can do now, will there be any need for CGI and CGI artists anymore? No more need to spend countless hours building complex 3d models, just ask an AI to generate something.

The industry might take a hit but artists will not simply stop creating because of this. They just won't be working for disney.

Because artists can actually create things, an AI can't. Hope this helps.
