I kind of think art is taking a beating. We're going to see more and more AI generation in that world, and why bother learning a skill when you can make a prompt? I'm sure there will always be artists, but I feel like we're going to see an overall decline.

Education, on a very fundamental level. Go peruse the r/teachers subreddit, it's pretty scary stuff.
AI is an incredible learning tool as an adult, but if I had access to such a thing in elementary/middle/high school I'm sure I would have abused it. Too early to tell what the effects of not putting in brain-reps when you're young will be, but I'd bet a few sats that it's not going to go well.

"The peak of your civilization. I say 'your' civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization... which is, of course, what this is all about. Evolution. Like the dinosaur. You had your time. The future is our world. The future is our time."

Or it makes the artists still creating art the old fashioned way more valuable.

Humanity itself.
It only took a few small mutations in the brain-stems of Sapiens to mark the beginning of the end of the Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo floresiensis, and Homo luzonensis.
That's the power of intelligence.
And it didn't happen overnight. Neanderthals terrorized Sapiens for thousands of years, even after the relevant Sapien mutations occurred. But the trend was clear. Intelligence is the apex predator.... even greater than the strength and stamina of the Neanderthal.
AI is an evolutionary leap. Sapiens are the Neanderthal now.
It won't happen overnight. For hundreds of years, we will live and work with them. Our lives will likely improve in many ways. We may even form many symbiotic relationships.
I absolutely love the over-arching theme of the Battlestar Galactica series. It makes the argument I'm making. Given a long enough time horizon, humans will always create AI, and that AI will always end up leading to the destruction of humanity in one way or another. It always takes thousands of years, but it's always inevitable.
