This is presented like it's a good thing, but it quite probably implies a local maximum in cultural abilities for a long time.
How do experts become experts? Through time and practice. Many great photographers hone their skills or discover their talent when working at entry level and mid level positions - shooting portraits, etc.
Most great musicians, bartenders, software engineers, etc. do the same. Without entry level/apprentice jobs the only other model is patronage from the rich, and that was never a good model even before today's rich largely abandoned the belief that they had a responsibility to contribute back to the society that allowed them to become rich.
Without a pipeline of new talent, where will new state of the art come from? Where will more training data for the planet burners come from?
