Impact of IMF/AI on Online Editors: What's Changed?

Hey everyone, as a sound editor, I've been noticing shifts in the post-production pipeline and it's making me curious about the finishing side. We recently had a project delivered using IMF for versioning, and I'm hearing more about AI tools being integrated into QC processes. It's great to see new tech streamlining things.

My focus is usually on the audio sweetening, often working from cuts made on an ARRI ALEXA Mini or a C70. We're still doing a lot of traditional passes, but I'm trying to understand how these advancements have genuinely impacted the online editor or finishing artist's role. Have responsibilities shifted dramatically? What new software or technical skills are now absolutely essential for those handling final delivery and QC? I'm particularly interested in real-world experiences.
