Apparently the first time JRR Tolkien used a tape recorder, he (semi-seriously) recorded himself praying the Lord’s Prayer in Gothic to exorcise any demons that might be inhabiting a machine that is capable of speaking on its own.
Interesting thoughts. As one who specifically moved away from management work to handyman work because of the coming of AI I do not see how AI loaded robots could do trade work. I could imagine robots doing very basic aspects of the work. But there are too many unpredictable variables in this sort of work and too many close judgement calls that are context specific for it to be a reality. I could see it being attempted by some ambitious developers seeking to cut corners but we would get the same results (or worse) than when they cut corners and hire cheaper and less experienced contractors. Ie., buildings flood, catch on fire, and sometimes fall down. Any perceived short term gain is lost in the mid to long term cost associated with bad construction. I know, I managed some high profile projects where corners were cut and it results major loss of revenue, big insurance claims, lawsuits, fines and so forth. As I see it, skilled labourers are sitting in the best position in regards to AI's impact on the job market.
I've written on AI art and I think you are basically correct. It's going to become common and the demand for human-mad art is likely to go up as a result.
Interesting that you should mention that the demand for human-made art will increase with the advent of AI art. I wonder if the propagation of AI elsewhere will foster a renaissance in human creativity.

One can hope!
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, thanks for sharing your experience!
