For font design, and art beyond what could be called boilerplate art, real art, not just something to quickly throw on a website so you have something there, AI is not a good tool.

I think AI will take over many jobs, firstly in the arrangement of characters and words into stock text, or coding. But art, not just pictures, is something that will take longer and may never happen. Design is very similar.

Good art makes you feel something, and you need the human experience to feel that before you can make that and make other people feel that.

AI is going to replace artists in exact the same way rhythm machines replaced drummers.
If the rhythm machines were making the beats, your analogy would be sound. Unfortunately, they do not.

AI has already started earning good money in music. The Velvet Sundown, for example was getting a million listens a month on Spotify.

People still make clothes by hand but try finding one at your local shopping centre.
