When it comes to animation, AI can be a double edged sword. Sure, some people see it as the “easy option,” but anyone who’s spent hours trying to coax exactly the right result out of it knows that it can be just as time consuming (and sometimes frustrating) as doing it manually. And you still might not end up with what you had in mind.
That said, AI can be brilliant as a jumping off point for inspiration or for tackling tedious, repetitive, time consuming tasks that take you away from the creative fun. It’s all about knowing where it shines, and where you need to take back control for yourself.
How do you use AI in your animation workflow? Do you see AI as a creative partner, a time-saver, or just a waste of time?

My primary use of AI is for voice work,
royalty free music tracks and backgrounds.
all of the voice acting and 360 degree backgrounds in these clips (from my feature length Iclone film) are AI generated
This original song track for this CTA animation is AI generated as well as the
2D backgrounds
I am AMAZED at how far AI voices have come. I use them too. It still doesnt beat using a voiceover artitst, but when I need something fast, AI saves the day.
AI requires specific conditions for the context to work , this example is AI when asked to draw on the same image another side profile of the same character. Prompt engineering as it has been coined is the way in which to get a llm to produce a useful result by variations of the questions asked. AI can write code , plagiarize , write stories , do videos, 3d model , animate and even produce songs and sounds , practically half the roles on a movie set can now be performed by AI , and it already took my job as a labourer in distribution of food, so now I fence. I believe the best use of AI has yet to manifest as too the worst. I plan on using Ai for silliness and useless stuff.
