Looking at the same existential threat that photography posed to portrait artists back in the early days of photography.

In hindsight, it was a disruption because the patrons or folks that want their portraits done appreciate art different than artists do and these are the people that have money to give the artist some food on the table. I see a similar situation now but with more added nuisance. But even consumers will change their wants and adapt to the saturated market to seek novelty. When pictures from these cameras became more common, the ones that have funds for luxury now opted to portraits again because less people do it. Art is alive like that, we just adapt to the times as we are artists and consumers of art too.
