Apple seems to be betting a lot on their upcoming XR projects, which will probably have a lot of AI integrated with the software, similar to Meta's vision. They're hugely hardware focused, so I don't think they'll ever be marketing some kind of LLM on it's own, it'll almost always be built in to support their hardware.

These are all things that are unique to animation, and what makes it special to most people. If you don't like these aspects of it, isn't that what live action exists for? Not even just anime, animation in general thrives off of these "annoying" aspects.

Yeah, this is kind of similar to people thinking that changing anime clips to 60fps on youtube using AI interpolation somehow makes it better. People are too quick to think something's already been usurped by new technology, when it really hasn't yet.

I won't deny that at some point the anime industry will probably get swallowed by AI, but this ain't it. Ask almost any anime fan if they like this kind of style and I'm sure you'll get the same answer.

Also, so many aspects of animation can't simply be replicated by live action, look at almost any sakuga fight scene. If people liked rotoscoped animation then the anime industry would simply save money and rotoscope everything, but obviously people don't like that style of animation as much, so it's rarely used.

Nah, typing won't be necessary by then, you'll just either do tiny finger movements or input directly from your brain.

That's true, my comment was less about the job itself and more about something that can't be replaced by AI so easily. The human interaction you get as a baby/young kid basically dictates your whole personality and language, etc.

I'm counting mothers/parents in this too(although there are also a lot of shit parents), but the general idea still stands, that babies/young children need human input to learn language and basic communication skills. Your entire personality is formed in your early formative years, and that's heavily dictated how you were raised, what kind of body and facial expressions you acquired via the people around you, as well as language. I don't think it'll be so easy for AIs to replace mothers and other people who raise young children. I wasn't referring specifically to the work itself, just the importance of the human interaction.

I heard an interesting idea that baby/kid caretakers will be the last jobs that only humans can do, because for the foreseeable future, even a robot more intelligent than a human won't be able to give the human touch/care that babies need to develop.

I think it could be, but OpenAI's definitely going to hold these models back for now, rather than taking us to some insane proto AGI immediately. Sam Altman's been clear about that lately, so honestly, I'm not expecting the whole world to change yet.

I think the models Stability.AI will come out with are going to be even crazier, since they'll pack as much as they can into it.

I'm looking forward to having an open source GPT-4 level LLM and text to video model!

A lot of this is probably inaccurate, given that in a recent interview, Sam Altman said that prompts/prompt engineering won't really be widely used anymore in the near future. It'll probably be just using natural language.
