Performing artists and craft workers are best positioned to not be disrupted by AI, because they were disrupted long ago by audio/video tech and factory production. If you are actually making a living creating physical objects by hand or performing, it's already been a niche market for decades.

I grew up around musicians and actors. Pretty much everyone had a "day" job, much of which was teaching. That's still going to be there, although it might change. But it's always been a hard field.

If you are an artist or musician who already was using digital tools, it's going to be harder to explain why your works are more authentic than someone who prompts a pc to generate a work. Maybe learning to be creative with AI is better for some.

It's also going to explode new forms of creativity from those who never had the training to be a physical artist or performer, but still have a creative drive.
