So what's really going to be killed by AI is originality. The moat to cross to get to anything original will get wider as AI makes it easier to churn out rehash.
The only real "threat" of AI is it lulling people into apathy and shutting their brains off. When the majority defer their thinking to AI because it's "good enough," civilizational progress will plateau. You can't invent the future using a machine that was only trained on the past (especially if you've atrophied your own ability to think about/interpret what the machine spits out).
I don't think it will get killed, but I think those models will eventually replace people that work on non-original stuff. Like, I don't doubt AI can "direct" the next 100 CoD games and no one will notice anything.
