Alright, seems like you can't or are not articulating what you profess to claim, instead expecting me to read your mind and when I can't, saying "yoU StilL doN't EvEN uNdeRStaNd," and it is clear you don't even use the tools you're dismissing, so I think this is an unproductive conversation for me. Goodbye.
Automation produces something plausible, high end movies need something exact.
Plausible is fine for animatics and previs, not for hundreds of millions of dollars.
The amount of work required is so vast you could automate away 90% of it and it is still out of reach for one person to make a "hollywood blockbuster in their bedroom" just as it is for one person to launch themselves to the moon and make it back.
If you don't believe me, try to make a single shot of CG pool balls on a live action pool table. Nothing but spheres, it should be easy right? Automate some of it with 'AI' if you can.
