As a profession artist and owner of a trade repair company I have to disagree. Agree: yes. One day it can happen. Disagree: 80% of commercial art jobs will be replaced in particular low hanging fruit. Most articles can just generate a “good enough” piece to suit their needs. Product photography will disappear completely. Echo cal artists will go. There may be some left o. The high end but it will be more of ai writer. Hell, corporate web copy is almost completely ai generated for smaller companies.

But. I need to repair the fault on an elevator. Unless there is a built in system to self diagnose (and the have no real reason to do so) external diagnosis is difficult. Then to manipulate the current systems would embolden high levels of dexterity through multiple passenger safety systems. Then determine to location and means of access which can vary extensively. As well as maintain the system for public safety. Once accessed fine motor manipulation as well as continued diagnostics. And that doesn’t take into account that there are several dozen different systems per several dozen different manufacturers that intentionally cause obsolescence.

Will it happen? Sure. Maybe. 50-100 years. We are more likely to have ai deal with resource management and design than repair.

Bro, you'll see. Artists won't be replaced because once AI image generators become viable they'll only change how a lot of art will be made. 50-100 years sounds like a big cope to me dear friend. I'd say 30-40 years.

I don’t believe all art. Just low hanging fruit. The bottom 80%. He’ll, even I have pulled a few quick images for articles. Having been in the commercial art field since the ruby days and still doing high end drone photography and corporate brochures and ads I already see it eating away some work.

I err on the long side due to need vs cost savings. Development of a safe and reliable AI system for home or commercial plumbing that take the job fully is way off. What I anticipate is AI companion with AR glasses. It will start with new construction jobs that are designed for them. The 30-50 is to account for the degradation of current facilities. I still have units we maintain that are over 60 years old with 60 years of undocumented modifications and repairs. 30 year old units from companies that have been out of business after install.

Companion systems that reduce the number of technicians maybe. But not full removal.
