  1. Will they bother with animation or cartoons when AI boosted films can do the same things with (seeming) real life? Starring any actor that lives or has lived.

    1. I don't think so. So much animation (particularly anime) is computer generated/assisted, and that won't change any time soon.
      There's a paradoxical difference between animation and AI. We know the samuri shown above aren't real and the movements are exaggerated, but because it's obviously animated, it's accepted for what it is. AI on the other hand, no matter how well done, will always be a known fake, and there will always be some repulsion from the viewer because of this.
      An example of this paradox can be found in Isaac Asimov's Robots and Federation books where the robots, no matter how sophisticated they behaved, as long as they looked robotic, were generally accepted (or at least tolerated), while the one robot that looked human had to keep that fact hidden or risk being destroyed by people.

  2. Because cartoons are often better than movies. No "acting" involved.
