Ask HN: What creative field will be safe from AI?

I am a visual artist and Dall-E 2 has made me realize that my skills will soon be almost worthless.

My role, if it continues to exist, will consist of prompting the software and selecting among its outputs. This is unsatisfying work that I cannot take pride in. My artistic skills, my craft, has been automated.

Quoting Wikipedia: On 19 November 2019, Go master Lee Sedol announced his retirement from professional play, stating that he could never be the top overall player of Go due to the increasing dominance of AI. Lee referred to them as being "an entity that cannot be defeated".

I am young enough to switch tracks and focus on a new creative field.

What creative skills will be safe from AI?
