Sounds awful. I write for a living because I like to write, not craft stupid prompts and edit. I'd sooner clean bathrooms at McDonald's than craft stupid prompts and edit for machine. I don't even like editing for humans. (Your example really resonated with me, because I love photography and though I have adapted to digital, I miss film and the developing process and still shoot on film with my old K-1000 sometimes.)
I ALREADY have plenty of time to do whatever I want, since my rates allow me to live quite comfortably working 12-15 hours/week. I usually work 20-25, but I don't need to. The rates for playing personal assistant to AI would be much, much, much lower--I'd probably have to work 120 hours/week playing with AI to get close to what I'm making now.
All that said...as I mentioned in my original comment...I'm old. I would probably be quite a bit more concerned about it if I had 20 or 30 years years of earning a living ahead of me
It does both entertain and worry me, though, that people think learning AI is somehow future-proofing them. The whole point of AI is that it continually learns to do more and more without you. So...if it does half your work for you today, that means half as many workers are needed in your field. In 2-3 years, maybe it will do 95%, and only one in 20 people will be able to find work, even if they've all gotten on board and learned to be good little attendants to the machine.
