One perspective is: anything that can be automated (thus lowered in cost) should be. For drudge-work, of course that's good. For some examples, showing that it can be automated shows that it IS drudge-work. But replacing a creative illustrator? That is not drudge-work, it is a fulfilling and enjoyable profession. I don't think it's clear that changing it to become a hobby (because it's no longer viable as a profession) is "a good thing fundamentally". I would need to hear further arguments on this.
