I think it’s vitally important to distinguish between skills you do for fun and skills that earn you a living.

For job skills to earn a living, you should definitely be paying attention and adjusting in order to future proof. Learn skills that will not become obsolete.

For skills for fun, don’t bemoan the fact that an AI can do it better. There is still inherent value in you learning and enjoying how to paint. Not everyone needs to be the best in the world. It would be silly to say “I love baking cakes for my family, but there’s no point because of British Baking Show.”
