Animation is not a genre. It is a medium! Animation is for EVERYONE.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller recall being once told that "if we played our cards right, we would one day 'graduate to live-action' and another exec saying a "certain animated movie we made was so enjoyable that it reminded them of ‘a real movie.’”

The reason I'm not scared (yet) of the Sora vids as an animator is that animation is an iterative process, especially when working for a client
Here's a bunch of notes to improve one of the anims, which a human could address, but AI would just start over
What client wants that?
