I don't see that LLM's have come that much further in 3D animation than programming in this regard: It can spit out bits and pieces that looks okay in isolation but a human need to solve the puzzle. And often solving the puzzle means rewriting/redoing most of the pieces.

We're safe for now but we should learn how to leverage the new tech.

This is the "your job won't be taken away by AI, it will be taken away by someone who knows how to leverage AI better than you"
Probably, but isn't that how most if the technical fields go? Software in particular moves blazing fast and you need to adapt to the market quickly to be marketable.
Don’t worry , the price of goods will be exponentially cheaper, so you won’t need a job /s

Some are safe for several years (3-5), that's it. During that time it's going to wreck the bottom tiers of employees and progressively move up the ladder.

GPT and the equivalent will be extraordinary at programming five years out. It will end up being a trivially easy task for AI in hindsight (15-20 years out), not a difficult task.

Have you seen how far things like MidJourney, Dalle, Stable Diffusion have come in just a year or two? It's moving extremely fast. They've gone from generating stick figures to realistic photographs in two years.

Being exceptional at programming isn't hard. Being exceptional at listening to bullshit requirements for 5 hours a day is.

Yeah, I’d better buy more wedding cakes in advance.

The reason AI generative tools are faster to become useful in artistic areas is that in the arts you can take “errors” as style.

Doesn’t apply too much to mesh generation but was certainly the case in image gen. Mistakes that wouldn’t fly for a human artist (hands) were just accepted as part of AIgen.

So these areas are much less strict about precision than coding. Making these tools much more capable are replacing artists in some tasks than CoPilot is for coders atm.
