Yes, it's better to use AI to automate individual steps in the actual animation process itself, with AI workers.

The quality is identical to human animators (because: same tools, same process).

Just the cost is lower (although training the AI workers is a new cost).

The only companies that can do this are those that have a very strong workflow, because AI workers operate on individual steps, NOT the entire workflow.

2D animation already has this, so it's easier to adapt to AI workers than 3D (for that reason).
