I think people would still produce original things as long they have the means for doing it. I guess we could say it is our nature. My fear is AI monopolizing the wealth that once would go to support people producing art.

This. I still produce original things and will continue to do so until I am incapable anymore. What's changed, though, is that I no longer put or discuss those things on the open internet because there's no realistic way to prevent it from getting used to train genAI models.
