Frankly, I think the "AI will replace jobs that require X" angle of automation is borderline apocalyptic conspiracy porn. It's always phrased as if the automation simply stops at making certain jobs redundant. It's never phrased as if the automation lowers the bar to entry from X to Y for /everyone/, which floods the market with crap and makes people crave the good stuff made by the top 20%. Why isn't it considered as likely that this kind of technology will simply make the best 20% of creators exponentially more creatively prolific in quantity and quality?

I think that's well within the space of reasonable conclusions. For as much as we are getting good at generating content/art, we are also therefore getting good at assisting humans at generating it, so it's possible that pathway ends up becoming much more common.
