There is nothing new about machines making humans obsolete in the workforce. The early 19th century saw textile workers fight back as hard as they could against the machines that left them without a useful trade. The machines produced large amounts of textiles faster than humans ever could work, but quality was also lost with the humans.
Creativity planted to grow in AI
In modern times, many workers face the same threat of being replaced by machines, artificial intelligence specifically, with the added issue that the quality of work from AI tends to outdo that of humans. The efficiency and scalability of artificial intelligence has many realizing that they will need to find ways to work with or be replaced by AI.

Looking towards an art ecosystem
One AI-generated artwork sold for $432,500 in 2018. Some fear that, if AI-generated art continues to sell for such high prices, artists may become discouraged and cease to create due to lack of incentive. Forward-thinking artists are searching for ways to incorporate both types of art into a sort of ecosystem where both human and AI artists can thrive.
