I like your points about Digital art and Photography (there was a HUGE anti-digital photography push, and digital editing too. Filters are just Algorithms after all, with very little human input beyond "ooh pretty".)

For me, I think AI is not going to steal our artists. But it will end up being a wrench/paint brush/keyboard, basically a tool that creatives will use to enhance and accelerate their creative process. The general population is enamored with the things that AI can produce for now, but like most fads, this too shall pass.

Drones popped up over the last 10 years as the bees-knees and many people went out and got them just to have some fun, so many in fact that all our wonderfully restrictive RC laws came about because of douchebags crashing drones into crowded areas. But nowadays they are most frequently used as tools to enhance jobs. Videographers are able to get shots for a couple hundred dollars that used to cost thousands of dollars in helicopter rentals. (Let alone the shots drones can get that heli's can't) People who work in forestry are able to block off sections of forest from logging using their drones equipped with thermals and LIDAR to help protect our wildlife more efficiently.

Are idiots always going to abuse the tools that professionals use? I think we all know the answer to that.
