Artists were already starving. The more physical trades are…physical not language so a plumber still plums. Maybe now they ask gemini instead of google tho.
Areas related most to…language are the most impact by large language models? The one that i think is just as impacted is education because it is also almost all language driven.
I see zero sign of any of the new mills coming around. Steel, crops, farming, none of it has changed and what little has is from…the software side or…language.
The SV world really over indexes on how much software can do.

Farming could use all kinds of robotic work right? Let the AI seeders and harvesters on the field.
I'm interested in what will happen with factories, why couldn't robots do all the work? Well maybe not ALL the work but most of it.
Look all of the progress in robotics. Companies like Physical Intelligence etc. There has been massive progress in all sorts of areas from picking strawberries to assembling kits, folding clothes, etc.
Huge progress in spatial understanding with frontier models now building architecture and complex mechanical systems in Blender.
Plumbing is coming within a few years.
