Many moons ago, I did some courses in the field of humanities. "What does one do with that?" was a question I often heard, hinting at employment prospects (or lack thereof). My answer was, "it's the last thing to be automated, where humans are rendered obsolete". I would say the same thing today.
I wonder how good AI will ever be at thinking outside the square/ lateral thinking, a process which leads to a lot of scientific discovery and advancement.
Recreational AP will still have its place no matter how good AI based processing becomes, just like visual astronomy.
