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.

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.

I think most people see these illustrations online these days

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