I don't know about that. I do know plenty of actors, musicians,
artists, writers, etc., who are in demand for their work. I also see
that when companies try to use machine-generated "art" instead of
employing human artists, it is met with backlash and ridicule from the
audiences. I also know several novelists who have written into their
contracts that no machine-generated content is permitted: covers must
be illustrated by humans, translations must be performed by humans, etc.

My impression is that "art" by Nano Banana 2 might be good enough for
some CEO who only cares about shareholder value. Not so much for the
rest of us.
