In terms of a productivity boost, it can give me the same boost as everyone else.
Be careful with that, you may end up being more productive but also be expected to do more with fewer human resources or teammates. This will definitely work for some but I can't see this not becoming a race to the bottom for the creators. There will be tons of benefits too but just like with automation, it could be a double edge sword.
I used to work in the animation industry. My friends who are still in it tell me that there is constant pressure from the studios to combine multiple roles into one, without any increase in pay. They've got a strong union so there's a lot of pressure to keep union shops as places with a lot of ways for you to bounce around and spend a year really delving into the fine details of one particular part of the craft, while still being able to afford to live in LA.

Yes.
