Yes, but the employers pay for their food. You can argue about the failings of capitalism, and maybe i would agree on some points, but that isn't changing overnight, or even overdecade.

No they're very happily looking into ways to get rid of more employees

Yes, but i feel ai will also be able to start drawing symbolism soon. Perhaps there is something different about human made symbolism and creativity in general that computers can never generate, but i think for general purpose ai has also passed that. Many ai pictures can comfortably pass off as an artist's work.

This actually brings up another point, what will stop people from passing AI work as their own, original work? Especially if there is the demand for human work like some sort of luxury product as you said

Well one is that there will probably be proportionally fewer people to look at human works in the first place, and i think most artists will still like to have people looking at their work

. And two is feeling of satisfaction i guess. Learning and practicing for years to finally make the thing you want. Now it feels pointless if you can just use the machine to make it better and immediately.

My career plans don't involve art, but i do have art related hobbies. I do hope there will still be any point in making art years into the future.
