I know that technology has displaced workers in the past, but it seems to be doing so at a faster and faster pace.
Technology has always enabled the creation of jobs faster than it displaces workers though. Sure, horse manure shovelers lamented the automobile, but people who became mechanics and petrol pump attendants didn't. The same will likely be true for artists - this will suck for them, but the proliferation of easily generated art assets will likely enable the creation of entirely new jobs we haven't considered yet.
