Same as it has been - originality. AI is great at doing the average and it's those creators doing routine work which will suffer. But those creating truly original work will be fine.
That and stuff genuinely made by hand. So painters, sculptures etc will also be fine.

I have aphantasia, so when my wife asked me to draw an octopus on our kitchen table (with very specific artistic requests), I knew exactly what she wanted… but couldn’t picture it myself.
Instead of giving up or guessing, I turned to AI image generation.
I described her vision, refined the results, and landed on a reference image that captured what she imagined. Using that as my guide, I inked the design onto our table with a set of Sharpies.
The result:

AI can’t make a painterly painting. By that I mean a painting that has texture and levels of paint, a painting you want to look up close at.

AI should be DOING OUR WORK and leave us to be creatively fulfilled. Not the other way around.

Related: when did we stop calling artists “creatives,” and start calling so-called entertainers “creators.” From being to producing. Creative being vs. creative doing. Idols we mistakenly uphold as nearly god-like…?

"...it acts on behalf of beauty." How eloquently put. I'm going to remember that line.
Have you done one on the neuroscience of beauty? Don't worry, I'll have a look and see, and I'll notice myself doing it, and I'll smile as I sit here on the floor, making a painting to save the world at 4 am in the morning.

The evolutionary perspective cleans the decks. There's more to our nervous system than the brain, 'functionarily' fundamentally speaking, and there's more to our system than the nervous system. Then there's the broader environment that it has been naturally selected as sensitive to, for better or worse. Just saying☺️.
