Professional artists have no chance of being automated away. They need all the productivity tools they can get.

The ones at risk (and complaining the most) are semipro online artists who sell one image at a time, like fanart commissions.

I follow plenty of artists on Elon's hellsite and professional artists of all stripes are upset about it. Jobs are already disappearing, being replaced entirely by AI and "prompt engineers" or people just using AI to copy someone's style for their portfolio. Granted, it isn't endemic yet, but the big Indiana Jones stone ball of progress is definitely rolling in that direction.
