Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation:
“The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

When they started doing celebrities doing voices in cartoons they used to be people who could open a movie without the ip.
Chris Pratt can’t do that. Hollywood misunderstood why Aladdin and Shrek did well and just put a ton of famous people. It was a dumb idea and most have bad voices for cartoons.

1) Never play AR games that record your surroundings because it’s for the military.
2) Never use camera filters that change your face into a cat because it’s for the surveillance state
3) Never identify “what is a motorcycle” in captchas because it’s using your human eyes and labor to help 1 and 2

If you're a director and you "can't draw", I can guarantee that if you just try anyway you will give PLENTY of information for a storyboard artist to be able to run with it.
There is no need to use AI.
Hand it to a storyboard artist and they might even have better ideas than what you thought of!
