(Visual) artist, here.<p>In art school they (responsibly, I thought) told us "it's very difficult to survive as an artist", so:<p>a.) Go to grad school and become a teacher
b.) and/or, Become good at writing grants
c.) and/or Don't quit you day job<p>Seeing all the hoo-ha about (visual) artists getting all up in arms about AI, my opinion is: if are you actually creative, not just concatenating things from "inspiration" web sites, then don't worry too hard. You'll find new questions to answer and new media to answer them in.<p>wrt musicians, I'll give any music try, ai or not. I'd be less interested in buying swag or seeing live performances of ai, and know a LOT of musicians who do it for love, so don't see them drying up altogether.
