Well humans have adapted, just as they have adapted to every technological development. There are tons of jobs out there with shortages e.g paramedics, nurses, teachers, engineering, plumbers, electricians, construction etc. People will end up doing these jobs if that's the only way they can make a living. It does majorly, majorly suck for everyone whose dream it was to have one of the creative jobs that are being replaced. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying it's probably what is going to happen.
Even for stuff like movie making, a director or producer would hire an illustrator or team of illustrators and send off a script to get it storyboarded and probably have to wait at least a few weeks. Now they can just go to a prompt engineer and have it done in a single afternoon. There’ll be similar developments in VFX, if you have a look at the latest Unreal Engine 5.2 demo they do motion capture from a woman’s face from a mobile phone camera in a matter of minutes. The actress in the demo says that kind of thing used to take a month to get the same result. When you’ve got a bunch of competing streaming services and studios trying to churn out as much content as possible to keep subscribers, it’s going to be difficult for them to justify the slowness and cost of keeping those human workers compared to the AI.
