Sure, but what about all the people who currently get paid for creating cute illustrations/photos for blogs, corporate brochures, and lectures?

Where exactly in this current situation are you seeing murder and retaliation taking place?
Or are you being funny?
As entire classes of skilled labor evaporate, there will be significant societal implications. There is also the problem of the significant centralization of power and money that comes with a future where AI performs the work.
I feel like not enough attention is on the future of AI or computer automation to devastate many types of employment. It already allows increasingly automated factories to produce more without needing so much human intervention. Did you notice that McDonald's wants you to order with a touch screen now, and you can check out your groceries with one harried clerk managing 10 checkouts instead of doing one at a time.
I expect that entire industries will shrink their workforces. Because the us is this place where we don't have very good social safety networks (because half the country thinks that makes us strong or something), the poor will find it harder and harder. There will be ever fewer people working in farms, many other kinds of physical labor will pay less with low demand. What's the end game? We in software are lucky for now, we tell those displaced to get educated and get a better job. What happens when/if there is a need for fewer of our kind? The world will be happy to save money for our labor if or when tools like GitHub CoPilot become more usable.
