We're already seeing actors being replaced with AI in television advertising, and some instances of AI actors on television. I think I've read that stuntmen are being replaced by AI. You might say that makes sense because the job can be dangerous, but it's a job. Appearing in advertising is how actors have long supplemented their income, and often that has been the bulk of their income.
Why pay millions of dollars to an actor when AI can do that, and as AI gets better, it will become harder and harder to tell them apart. Plus, as people become acclimated to seeing AI playing the parts in movies and television series, they will either take it for granted or simply not question it. It also doesn't help that most actors are such PITAs with their political nonsense that at least half the audience would enjoy seeing them out of work. The problem is that those who are the biggest PITAs right now will probably still be able to find work for the rest of their lives, but the jobs won't be available for new actors. Perhaps live performances will become more popular. Yeah, I know; we have Broadway, off-Broadway, and community theater, but most people haven't attended a live performance since their kid had a role in a school play.
When it comes to the visual arts, as in those who create paintings in various media, AI is already very good at doing that, at least on the levels that most people are capable of appreciating. Of course, AI trains on the works of current and previous artists, who will have a harder and harder time selling their work, and will cease to exist except as hobbies.
We're already seeing the beginning of the worst, and that is AI writing. Some people don't even want to write a forum post without the help of AI, and children are literally being told that they don't need to learn to spell because they have spellcheck, they don't need to learn grammar because they have AI, and we already have people who literally can't read or write in cursive, and see no point in writing anything on paper. Digital is replacing printed books, which seems like a good idea for consumers because digital is a whole lot cheaper and more convenient, but that same fact means that writing is less profitable.
I have read that a large percentage of the books available on Amazon, and probably quite a few of those that are available in print as well, were entirely written by AI. Right now, I can usually tell when something is written by AI because of some quirks that AI is having a hard time divesting itself of. However, AI is going to get better at the same rate as people are going to view AI writing as proper writing. Even when we try to write something on our own, we're often being corrected by AI. As this increases and becomes dominant, even when someone sits down to write a book, the end product will have a lot of AI DNA. In a short time, people won't be able to tell the difference between a book written by a human being and AI, and may well consider AI writing to be preferable. As with the visual arts, however, AI trains on the writings of past human literary artists, who will no longer exist except as hobbyists.
We can expect something similar in the other arts when you combine AI and 3D printing.
