> AI can't do my job Last famous words. Current technology can't do your job, future tech most certainly will be able to. The question is just whether such tech will come in your lifetime. I thought the creative field was the last thing humans could do but that was the first one to fall. Pixels and words are the cheapest item right now.

Sure man, I'll believe you when I see it. I'm not aware of any big changes in writer/artist employment either.

  Don't be so naive. History is not on your side. Every person who said that 100 years ago has been replaced. Except prostitutes maybe. The only argument you can have is to be cheaper than the machine, and at some point you won't be.

    That's complete bullshit. Lots of people still work in factories - there's fewer people because of automation but there's still lots of people. Lots of people still work in farming. Less manual labor means we can produce more with the same amount of people or fewer, that's a good thing. But you still need people in pretty much everything. Things change and people adapt. Maybe my job won't be the same in 20 years, maybe it will. But I'm pretty sure I'll still have a job. If you want to make big decisions now based on vague predictions about the future go ahead. I don't care what you do. I'm going to do what works now, and if things change I'll make whatever decisions I need to make once I have the information I need to make them. You call me naive, I'd say the same about you. You're out here preaching and calling people naive based on what you think the future might look like. Probably because some influencer or whatever got to you. I'm making good money doing what I do right now, and I know for a fact that will continue for years to come. I see no reason to change anything right now.
