That's not true. Many studies about post-scarcity / post-work-to-live come to the same conclusion. For many, even with hobbies unless the thing they are doing can be used and appreciated by others it's a hollow pursuit.

  1. Great paintings are put in galleries for a reason

  2. The mug I made with clay is used by my sister for a reason

  3. The door I fixed with my DIY tools was to help my granny

  4. The scarf I knitted was for my dad so he doesn't get cold.

I got a good sense of achievement from those and helping others; However the crossword puzzle was for nobody besides myself and I got no more than a fleeting grin from it, my life is empty.

I've been an SE for coming up to almost 30 years now, I did branch out into photography a decade ago as a side job, but that just doesn't consistently bring the money in.

To answer your question. I have no idea, it's too late for me. Both of those will be taken over by AI and partially have already.

I played with ChatGPT yesterday and asked it technical questions about physics, software engineering, theoretical physics, covid vaccines and the answers were amazingly human.

Structural engineers, architects, graphics designers, artists, game level designers, journalists, comedians, poets, voice actors, actors. All will be mostly gone.

..and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I think we'll start to see that happening in 2023 as game artists are already being replaced by online AI solutions at the lower end.

They need to get AI to produce the safety net FIRST or humanity is fooked.
