It's very fascinating how AI, as a cultural entity, has probably accelerated the already ongoing and well-acknowledged "irrelevant" step in the "relevant-irrelevant-nostalgia-forgotten" cycle of semi-photorealistic animation by copying so much of Pixar's homework (or uh, Google image results) and making it look cheap. Not really saying it's good or bad thing, that style does need a rest but it's also a very nice one IMO, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a nostalgia boom for it, or at the very least some Disney die-hards who prop it up like some do the Xerox style.
