>Robotics is advancing but not as fast as ai

That isn't my claim, I said it will advance faster once AI supports both it's research and development.

>Even if they had perfect robots in the lab today it would take time to roll them out and produce them for the entire industry to be automated

It will happen though, especially when you see how useful it will be.

>You seem to be the one with an ego as an artist hoping you won’t be replaced by ai until ahi arrives

No not really it is the truth, let me explain. AI-generated imagery as it stands is a flat collage of input, humans are the ones that get it to make images kinda like a tool. For AI to replace artists it would have to make art reflecting a three-dimensional trajectory through references of sociocultural, psychological, and spatial properties. It reflects a distinct form, and this is originality. Basically it would need to be at human level.

Face it, "go to trade school" is the new "learn how to code" meme. You will be replaced whether you like it or not.
