"The ongoing plight of underpaid labor in Japan's animation industry has stirred
up different suggestions, including utilizing computers to take the place of low
wage animators. Yuichi Yagi is developing once such program that creates
in-between animation using its artificial intelligence. The program uses Dwango's
deep learning neural network to fill in the gaps between key frames from Mages'
Idol Incidents anime series. The program quadrupled the frames put into the system
to create the animation seen below. The AI animation is displayed on the right of
the screen and the original frames on the left."
"Keisuke Iwata, president of Japan's anime television network AT-X, spoke in
February about a possible transition to using artificial intelligence in anime.
Iwata said, "It is fully conceivable that anime production processes may be
completely replaced by AI.""

This will make anime cheaper to produce, but a lot of low-end animators will end
up losing their jobs. Such is progress, I guess.
