It did. Absolutely developed a ML/AI program to discern frame to frame movement of animated characters and how the lighting/shading should follow along. "KLaS".
Developed in 2015. A full 7 years before Midjourney V1 dropped. 6 years before DALL-E dropped.
That software generated bezier curves to control the lighting/shading. Then the curves were reviewed and massaged frame by frame by artists.
It's important to distinguish the difference between that form of ML/AI and the exploitative abusive and harmful general AI generative software we're pushing back on right now. Machine Learning has been useful for decades. Nuance is key.

This BTS video is actually from 7 years ago that WIRED posted on Youtube.
It's technically older bespoke tech pre-genAI that uses machine learning and artists to interpolate 2d handdrawn lines. Like a smarter Blender Grease Pencil.

THIS IS GOOD AI
- Only used for tedious work
- Doesn't affect creative integrity
- Uses completely localised data
- Not from a data center
- Localised programs aren't bad for the environment in the same scale
- Data was taken with consent to the artists
