Yeah for this reason I worry about illustrators and concept artists. Those used to be dream jobs, now I'm not so sure they're even jobs anymore.

Realistically they haven't been jobs for awhile. Read up on William Morris.

Illustrator I can't see going anywhere as AI still makes too many mistakes. At least technical illustrations, that is. For something like a paperback cover or low-end kids book AI already has that market covered.

Concept artist is probably toast for sure. Except in specific Industries like automotive where you need a real concept for development.

I was thinking illustrator, like those who draw the often semi abstract drawing what go with magazine articles.

And we know how booming the magazine industry is these days.
