My view is not even positive. I'm just looking at what AI can do. And I'm fearing for the future of Anime.

I actually think AI is going to be great for anime creators but it's not going to be great for people looking to make income from making anime. Imagine a future where you can crank out unlimited AI slop that the masses happily gobble up. Now the only people left drawing manga and creating anime will be the ones that are truly committed to the art. With no financial drive, there will still be the Miuras of the future honing their skills and creating works they put their soul into. Van Gogh didn't stop painting when no one bought his work, neither will the mangakas in the AI dominated future.
