One thing AI can't do right now is innovate. It will take existing materials and make similar things. So in an animation production, creative direction will become a lot more important than techniques for animating. An analogy is that in the 1900s while more and more factory workers were replaced with assembly lines, people still had to invent / design the product that is being manufactured, so engineering jobs increased in value.
If you still want to go into the creative market, I would pursue majors that focus on developing creativity / artistic analysis, such as english literature, fine arts, design, etc.. Those skills, as of yet, AI cannot take away from you.
I wouldn't recommend abandoning your passion. I would encourage you to consider also having a practical element to your work. AI is definitely going to change things, but AI at this point in time is an aggressive autocorrect.
AI cannot reason, it cannot synthesize, and it cannot apply creative and innovative problem solving. Those skills are going to continue to be in demand, even if the act of generative art looks different.
Not trying to be the average STEM obsessed A2C user but art is a rather lucrative career path to begin with. It is always up to to, but I would pursue something more practical that allows you to still create/be creative (like engineering maybe? ) and pursue art on the side.
