The problem is that automation is still just a tool, if we don't design society with these disciplines and everyone in mind, we are going to be in a very difficult and unequal society.
Furthermore, whilst text and image generation seems to be automated, the more manual parts of our work are still quite manual. Manufacturing and farming are still very manual processes.
Lastly, there's a huge risk that the internet will be flooded with generated content even more so than before. And at that point we are recycling things and that could potentially lead to these models losing their ability to be innovative as they will be overwhelmed by content they created.
