The biggest worry here, is where instead of hiring 20 dancers for a music video, they only hire one, and use AI to AutoDance[1] a bunch of low-cost actors instead. This could destroy the jobbing dancer-for-hire market.

OK, I get that. But then, why bother hiring meat at all? Just CGI it entirely.

CGI could do it for quite a while now, just not at a price competitive with actual dancers. I'd think of this more as CGI automation than dancer automation. For dancers, only the video production part of their market is threatened, the stage part remains unaffected.
