Isn't there a way to avert this or at least survive it?

Take me for instance. I studied to be an artist and animator, and thanks to AI my livelihood has been reduced to collecting disability benefits. There's no way I can afford a house on disability benefits alone, and I don't have the experience to find a different job.

AI ruined my life, which further makes it personal when I see idiots advocate for AI.

You're completely right to feel how you feel. I do think there will be a coming backlash to this from a sizable portion of people (well I mean you can already see it now) though who will value human made art. 

That portion isn't big enough.

RTGI and hybrid-RT solutions like Lumen already automate a lot of intensive lighting work. That's why so many publishers push to use UE5 even when their developers have proprietary engines. 

I don't think this will erase artists from the process entirely, just like these technologies didn't, but like with every industry it will likely mean less hiring of entry-level people. 

I suspect unemployment will be around 20% by 2030, but much, much higher for those early in their career. And it will affect pretty much every industry. That's a recipe for a social revolution and will be THE political problem to solve. It's probably a good thing it would be so widespread though because that means the problem can't be thrown under the rug. 

The big wildcard is embodied intelligence/robotics. I hope it isn't solved before then. 

This is why I keep saying AI will lead to humanity going extinct. I'm tired of being brushed off as someone who's "overreacting", just like people who were warning everyone else about Hitler.
