AI can animate now. What was my skill even for?

You spent years training your eye to catch truth in a blink, a stumble, a held breath. Now a machine produces in seconds what once took you days. It is natural to feel robbed. But look at what actually frightens you. It is not the speed. It is the suspicion that your years of labor were only ever about the finished frames — and if frames can be made without you, you were never necessary. That suspicion is false, and you can test it today. The machine has no eye. It cannot tell a true stumble from a false one. That judgment was always yours. It still is. The question is whether you will use it, or sit grieving the part of the job that was never the point.
