It's the samr discussion we had long ago when digital cameras cane abouut and image editing became easy and commonplace. Yes, there is a lot of badly edited stuff around now. For example, most meme images on social media are made by putting new captions on old content, and maybe changing a few details about the rest of the image. No, photographers didn't become obsolete. They professionalized.

Photographers totally became obsolete.
When cameras were harder to use, you had national geographic taking you all over the world to photograph different locations because only you and a handful of people knew how to take a picture properly. Now you just hire a local person with a camera to go take the picture you want since it’s much easier to use a camera.
You had people doing photography for ads, now stock photography will do for most brands.
You had people buy high school portraits, I am not sure if people buy those anymore, but a picture of what you looked like in high school is worth a lot less when you can take a selfie every other day.
