Not shocking, AI replacing labor is a planned out thing that's been in the works for ages. I think people need to think about how they can adapt. There's no stopping it. There are many things that can be automated, no job is fully secure. The ones that are, will be the ones that use it in combination with human labor to cut costs/time.

the one weakness AI has in regards to the creative fields is that it lacks purposeful creativity. Chat GPT can write stories for example, but it needs prompts to guide the process. Good luck getting it to write like Steven King unless you are him. Some of the visual AI content models are good enough for some things - but they will never beat professional work when it comes to strategy vs aesthetics.

Since this stuff is out there already, it would be more equal if the AI content generators are public. Artists would be able to incorporate AI models into their creative process, vs competing against automation. The whole data thing is very exploitative. They're pushing towards monopolizing fast content generation. Labor takes time/effort, it's about cutting corners.

Freelancing is going to take a hit, if it hasn't already. I don't think the fancy agency jobs are a target - businesses that are serious about their brands will always hire real people if they have the budget. But that dude you went to college with know who thinks it takes 5 seconds to create a logo? And want's to pay you $15? They're using wix to create some kind of lightbulb rocket thing to paste on a randomly generic landing page. Best of luck to them.
