Welp, looks like one of the entry level jobs in VFX is now fully automated: the role was called "Trackers" and they did camera motion recovery, set/prop placement recovery, and actor match moving, including facial performances (sometimes, that's had a lot of automation attention for years.)

The quality of wonder dynamics is still significantly far away from handling more complex real world shots, or more fine grained movement.

It’ll certainly help but the death of manual tracking is greatly exaggerated.

That's good to know. The end of this month, today, marks 20 years since I worked as a tracker.
