How I see AI fitting in is being used as an effort multiplier. Imagine if a single person was able to produce an entire anime / cartoon tv series rather than the current situation of hundreds of people being involved. The single human could act as a creativity director ensuring consistent story and style while the AI does the heavy lifting of pumping out hundreds of thousands of frames.

Currently we have youtubers putting out crude AI voice generated videos with basic visuals, and its still funny and entertaining because the story is good. But imagine if anyone with a good idea could start producing studio quality works to accompany their meme video.

A good example are Joel Haver's videos on youtube. He explains his process here: https://youtu.be/tq_KOmXyVDo . He produces animations by rotoscoping live footage, with only a few keyframes being done by hand and the rest by AI, using something similar to style transfer.
