This is a moment in history like Ford releasing the Model T. The horseshoe industry took a massive hit, as did anything related to horse transportation. The winners saw it happening and pivoted themselves.

Right now, one person with AI that makes prompts replaces an art department. Gig work will dry up as many people learn to ask ChatGPT to write their excel macros, instead of hiring it out. Audio engineers can be replaced with one person doing QA in some finished products.
