Photography actually did destroy photorealistic painting as a career. All those painted portraits you see in museums were basically the old timey version of selfies. Photography replaced that job.

As a career yes, but there are still artists whom that medium speaks to. As time marches on jobs will get replaced, and we can either try and adapt society towards not NEEDING jobs to live, or we can keep having peoples livelihoods wiped out because of advancements in tech, instead of lives improved.Or do you think we should get rid of camera tech?
