I agree with your point of view, but short mobile dramas are relatively easy to monetize now. For example, our company is currently working on AI-generated 3D animated short films. First, we generate single frames of characters using AI, then we build simple scenes in 3D software, and we also filmed dynamic footage with real people. Finally, we put everything into AI to replace the characters and refine the visuals. I think that driven by profit, this could indeed have a negative impact on the traditional CG industry.

about the cg industry ,well everyone think that AI will kill DCC software
i think the moment that AI will be aggressively implemented in DCC software it will be the other way around.

because who can compete using AI within 3d software and with all its functionality of 3d software?

Fewer people will be willing to learn 3D software like Houdini in the future, as traditional pipelines are gradually being superseded by AI-driven workflows. It’s a disheartening trend.

why? do you think that sidefx can't implement AI inside houdini? or any other dcc software company ?
why people think that AI engine only live on web application? its not.

right now it depent what sidefx will do , Imagine what happen if AI will go inside houdini or other dcc software.

how long time will it takes you to do the same with houdini? from the ocean (with foams+waves>how many Terabytes + computing time?) from rain particles to ship colision + everything?
ahah

first you comparing procedural simulation tool with AI .
AI can't do simulations 
what happen with close-up shot of simulations? it will be correctly?

the second thing , the real limitation its the moment you need control. 
can you make a specific wave break at the exact moment the ship turns? 
can you get consistent results across multiple shots?
can you match it to live action footage?
what happen when director ask for a change?
and thats only part of the problems in AI.
in houdini you control everything and with AI you just hope for the best.

and when AI will be implemented inside houdini/maya/c4d.....think what dcc software can do ,
i think tools like seedance won't be relevant in the future comparing to this combination

but today AI still can't replace dcc software,
i think the future it will be hybrid soltuion,but thats just my opinion.
