Trivializing the work of people outside of one's profession while giving more importance to one's own is as old as the human civilization. There are plenty of people cursing software developers right now for pulling six digit salaries in exchange for typing some dumb text on a screen.

Ah man, I do like what Dall-E is doing right now, i'm curious about the possibilities, even thinking of using it as a start for digital art and then manipulating the output in photoshop, i'm fairly good/creative at that manipulation side and I like what I can do there but I am a terrible artist, so this is good to get the starting point.

However as it gets better, even that won't be needed and I'm concerned then what that means for the average person, or for me trying to get my skills up so i can increase income, only for it to get wiped out by AI at some point in the future.

That's already happening with no code tools, hosted solutions, saas, GitHub copilot and more.

By then I will have moved far beyond hands on keyboard type work and will be managing teams.
