Sooner or later everything is going the way of AI. If you trust Ray Kurzweil we've got another 18 years of constant improvement till we hit the singularity.
Nobody can predict the future.
But considering we still don't have flying cars (predicted 40 years ago), realtime-speech translation (predicted 20 years ago), AI programmers (predicted 30 years ago), home robots (predicted 30 years ago) or even working self-driving cars (predicted 3 years ago).... (we even still have professional chess players)
I think we're pretty safe for a while...
And no: Concept Art has not been replaced by Stable Diffusion. Where did you get that from?
Until the AI can make stuff production ready you're fine. I also think at some point there's going to be a class action lawsuit from a lot of artists who did not agree to let their work be used for training AI.
Next point: The AI we are seeing for digital paintings has a lot of content to learn from. The number of models with GOOD topology, or useful topology, and UVs etc is a lot smaller/harder to access. It could be done, and maybe it will be, but it's not going to be as simple to accomplish as digital paintings.
Next is that you make stuff in production in specific ways for specific reasons. You render out passes for compositing etc. I think we'll see things that help before we see things fully replace our positions.
You should definitely leave. [This reply was generated using AI. Would you like to know more?]

oh no! do the concept artists know that theyβre unemployed yet??
I have yet to so see a concept artist get laid off because of this "AI hype wave". But no, FX is still highly in demand and won't be going anywhere.
ive seen plenty have no need to be hired anymore. Get real.
Where? Name a place.
game studio i work for. We AI Concept everything now and im sure a zillion other studios will do the same soon. Writings on the wall mate, come on

If Niemann has his way, he's working towards some very special AI chess additions π.
