>It happened to art and I don’t see why devs think they’re immune.

Probably because it's a different problem domain that actually requires precision and the requirements often are unexpressable in natural language.

Also, it has not happened in art. You can say it has happened in art when 50% of currently salaried graphic artists are unemployed.

Same sentence could describe art.

The first part couldn't and the second doesn't apply to the current (and I suspect any future) mechanism AI models use to generate...anything.

It’s barely happened to anyone. There isn’t a general pattern of automation replacing jobs, so it’s not a reasonable thing to assume will happen.

Automation replaces tasks and makes things cheaper, both of which make jobs more productive and more worth keeping.
