Over the years, generative AI has become an increasing threat to artists, animators, writers, and other creative professionals. With the recent launch of Sora 2, the possibility of animation studios using AI to replace human animators and artists feels more real than ever. These are people who have dedicated their lives to mastering their craft—only to now face the risk of being replaced by machines.

     If you don’t believe this could happen, remember: many major studios will do whatever it takes to cut costs and increase profits. If they can find a way to avoid paying animators, you can be sure they’ll take it. If AI continues to improve at its current pace, countless artists and animators may find their jobs—and the passions they've built their lives around—stripped away.

     If you care about keeping art human, if you want to continue watching movies, shows, cartoons, and anime brought to life by people with real hearts and souls—not by machines—please consider signing this petition.
