The large majority of professional writers and artists produce thankless commodity output for things like TV advertisements, games, SEO content. These jobs should be threatened.

They get paid pretty low wages so it's not even clear that AIs will be cheaper. Consider also that you still need a human to evaluate their output, make adjustments, etc.
