How do I handle AI that can generate animation?

AI can now generate animation, and you find yourself swinging between two reactions, waving it off as worthless or feeling threatened by it. Both are understandable, and both keep you from seeing it clearly. Dismissal and fear are really the same move, a way to avoid looking straight at a thing that unsettles you. The steadier path is to understand it. When you learn what it actually does well and where it genuinely falls short, it stops being either a joke or a monster and becomes a tool with real limits. It can generate, but it does not have vision, story sense, or the judgment to know what is good. Those remain yours, and they are the heart of the work. Spend some honest time trying it out on a small project, not to adopt it or reject it, but to see it plainly. Notice where it helps and where it cannot follow. Once you understand it, you can decide how it fits your work from a place of knowledge rather than fear or scorn. That is where your power over it begins.
