That’s how I generally see things as well. I expect, as you said, the biggest immediate impact will be on entry level jobs. I think this dynamic will be similar for programming jobs as well as artists. AI can crap out code right now, but you need somebody with a good general understanding to read it, validate it, and to make sure it fits with the business requirements. A senior developer can use an AI generator to save some time this way, and I can see how at least some entry level coding positions could be replaced in the near future.
However, this creates a long term problem since the only way to get more senior developers is by investing the time into training up junior devs. I can see how once the dust settles jobs for both artists and devs will likely evolve into figuring out how to utilize machine learning models effectively. But there’s gonna be a lot of chaos in the near term I expect.
