Technology has always been pushing people of average skill to move forward and find new things. The effort to stop AI from coming after this medium are already lost. Now would not be a great time to bank on an entire career based of drawing art in a style that AI can do. But perhaps there is a form of art that AI can not soon replicate.

There will always be a market for truly expert craftspeople and artists, however, and art as a hobby or personal interest will never cease.

Edit: the reaction is a bit fascinating to me and I’m trying to understand. The ATM machine reduced our need for bank tellers. The automatic phone switching network reduced our need for phone operators. E-commerce reduced the need for cashiers. The advent of computers reduced the need for slide rule operators. You can view this as all bad but by being on an internet forum you’re benefitting directly from people having been freed from these jobs and able to pursue other less replaceable jobs.
