How many of those people would actually have paid an expert vs. downloading some stock photo or artwork and going close enough?

If we can have an infinite variation of personalized stock photos, I'm betting that the "good enough" side will win.

I'm still not scared about my job since I provide specific solutions (C++ architectures) that an AI cannot produce (yet), but it's worrying for everyone and every kind of job at the same time.

The market will decide if those "good enough" people are right.

Perhaps the market is wrong. Just because something is profitable doesn't make it good.

If you don’t like the taste of the people who want to pay for art I suggest doing what is traditional and either (a) paying for it yourself, or (b) taking over or setting up the government funding for artists so that people who share your taste are in control.

My concern is that there would be no one to pay for it because they have been driven out of the market.

That doesn’t make sense. Buyers don’t get driven out of the market.

They do if they lose their jobs. Art isn't something you must buy. I like to buy art, but if I lost my job, it's one of the first things I'll be cutting back on. And the less people are buying, the more the remaining artists have to charge to keep being able to afford to do art, which just spirals more people out of the buyers market.

What is a recession or a depression?

Economic collapses are a thing.

Sorry, when I said "no one to pay for it" I meant "no one who could be paid to do it". In retrospect, my wording was ambiguous.
