I sympathize with artists too, but to a point. I predict that:

  1. AI art will overtake human art eventually; that is human art jobs will be mostly replaced. Day to day art (e.g. ads, illustrations, decorations, billboards etc) will likely be AI generated.
  2. Human art will become something akin to a home cooked meal in a sea of fast food art. This might actually make some artists famous and rich.
  3. Humans will continue to learn art, but more as a pastime/hobby/mental exercise.

I hope to one day live in a world where people only do things for the skill/experience/craft, instead of out of necessity.

The world needs to radically change for that to be possible. And it should!

For point 2 and 3 art is too expensive and time consuming to learn. I feel a lot of people extremely underestimate the time and cost that people have to bring up to become decent artists.
