I think the most vulnerable spots in the industry are in concept art and matte painting, though I also think companies are starting to realize it's not all its cracked up to be. A colleague that also contracts for
[big famous FX and animation house we all know and love] said they fired their entire concept art department last year and replaced them with prompt jockeys.... for a few weeks. The prompters could bang out a million "great start" rough drafts in an hour, but then when their boss came around and inevitably said "oh, this one is the one to stick with. Just move this to the right and that to the left and make this bigger and that smaller and make this cloth purple" and they were cooked. They didn't even have the comparatively basic photoshop skills to do a hack job there, let alone make changes by hand-- so they'd struggle with control nets and inpainting and more prompts but the whole thing was one gigantic failure and they were begging the centuries of concept art expertise they unceremoniously booted out the door for forgiveness. And those workflows don't require anywhere near the control that, say, compositing does.
My biggest hope for the professional use of these things is in post-render pre-comp polishing for simulations and pyro. They're so good at understanding patterns and having smooth transitions that they can make a nonsense, physically absurd combination of images blend together perfectly... one of my favorites was a background guy's nose in a sepia toned video was neatly melded into a distant oncoming train. I think that could be really great for smoothing out volume textures and things like that. Given, that probably has more to do with my specialty than anything.
My main problem is that I'm just starting out my career in this field after switching from a decade of python dev work, and then doing some visual design before going to art school where I graduated at the top of my program having mostly concentrated in making cool shit at the Houdini/UE confluence. Two years ago everyone was saying "holy crap you've got the golden skillset," and now everyone's like "oof... hang in there... I guess..." Even aside from the strike aftermath, nobody in the market has any idea what to do right now, especially with juniors, let alone a really weird mixture of junior + senior dev that I am with a few contracts under my belt and a ton of really solid coding experience, but nothing really impressive in the industry itself. Who fucking knows. I think a lot of people in charge of hiring are waiting for a moment where it's going to just be sort of obvious what they need to do, and don't want to hire people into FTEs that are going to be eliminated through ai efficiency gains in 6 months. I don't have a lot of insight into the hiring side of the business though.
