It seems like this means artists would mostly be needed for creative art, e.g. spaceships, monsters, etc. That is, things that don't exist, so can't be photographed.
But there are already commercial and free libraries of commonplace items like furniture, cars, and buildings. So isn't what I described pretty close to the same situation today already?
But spaceships and monsters do exist. There are thousands of them, just look on google images. An AI inverse rendering system, could just as easily ingest a ton of space sci-fi images, as real world photos.
