The print industry was dead long before AI came about.

That may be true but the latest media to be hit by the internet is film and TV. YouTube and TikTok are eating their lunch and streaming isn't making up for it. The same happened to music with the rise of streaming but it occurred a little earlier. AI generally isn't the cause of their demise but I suppose the fear is that AI will just make things worse when it's more broadly adopted. The internet has mostly destroyed media jobs and the only people making money from it nowadays are the platform companies.

The question is whether the creative industries will survive the AI era.

I predict artists will struggle until the novelty of AI wears off. AI requires existing art to imitate, so I don't think it will last longer than a few years after churning out the same old stuff. Fashion is fleeting. It may last longer if biz execs are slow to react to reduced efficacy of advertising due to boring AI content.

GenX deals with lots of shenanigans. Born and raised in the old world and forced to adapt to the new.

		gen X's parents were born and raised in the old world, and largely did very well by it. We the X'ers on the other hand , have never had a moment of stability, unless you call extended periods of unhinged partying, stability, which I think we did, but dont quote me on that......

Those that adapt survive. Gen X exemplifies this because they've always had to adapt. Boomers and echo boomers are soft and have to question everything while Gen X just knows because they've always had to DIY.
