I am not saying that artists are going to stop being a thing. We will keep buying books written by people and watch movies directed by people and people will still make music and what have you, but it will be different. The music industry was completely different in 1900 when there no available mass recordings, different again in the 1950s with popular radio and records, and the 2000s brought the internet and MP3s.

Things change -- people's jobs will be different. It isn't going to mean artists will stop making art or machines will make everything bland, it is just a new tool that will change industries and make things easier for people to do well and thus make more art. Some people won't be able to live well doing the same thing they do now, but what they do now wasn't what they would have been doing if they were in their grandparents time.
