I think what people don't realize is that rent and the mortgage isn't paid through art. It's paid through boring, important work that is mostly uncreative and requires precision. A lot of people don't really care about doing anything innovative, they just want to do something to get money to sustain their life. The same goes for businesses. What a lot of people don't realize about software is that it is one of the few industries that offered a means to greatly improve your standard of living without requiring a formal degree. AI just one-shotted that kind of work. There will always be a place for humans to do creative things, but there won't be a place for average people to make a living. Example - look at animated movies. In the past studios hired hundreds of people to draw the movie. Now, its nearly all automated with software. The need for human artistic ability for commercial work is nearly gone, and only left for nice to have products. In 5 years we will see the same for software. It will be much faster than what happened to art because software is already in nearly every aspect of life.
