"Some creative jobs maybe will go away," Murati said in an interview at The Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth University last month, as quoted by Fortune. "But maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place."
Why should the jobs have not been there in the first place? If someone is willing to pay another person to perform a job, so be it. It's their money. To say it maybe shouldn't have existed in the first place seems.. narrow minded.
We used to have a job called computer, and people were employed as computers in living memory. When we say that a job does not exist, we speak about how we wish to walk going forward.
OK but you could say that about practically any job - given enough time and technical progress. But in this context we are talking about these few jobs where people really enjoy what they are doing and actually create something genuinely new. If all artist disappear and what we're left with is GenAI feeding on GenAI, it's a bit sad because art is an important part of our culture.[0]

There is a innate human affinity for art. The question is whether young artists will be taking on the prestigious internship of drawing Meg Griffin's eyes. If people love art then let them draw.
