I mean this would be a great point if ai wasn’t being used for new research where there’s not a lot of patterns, or if people were original but if you read or watch a lot you see most stuff is already just remixes of something else

Robotics is advancing but not as fast as ai. Not only that but hardware takes significantly longer to implement than software. 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. You seem to be the one with an ego as an artist hoping you won’t be replaced by ai until ahi arrives. Also no one stated it would take centuries you’re making up false narratives in that puny brain of yours.

They aren’t safe from automation because no job is. They won’t be some of the first to go though they’ll be near the back. Most people who think trades are easily replaced just have no clue what goes into working in the trades.
