The idea that work will disappear requires complete automation and redistribution of resources: post-singularity would still not mean "infinite" resources, so likely some credit/quota system will be used to distribute resources, the physical and simple works will of course be automated, but many high-level fields like math research/programming/science will likely to grow explosively if aging/stress/routine was eliminated.

There is no objective value in art and AI is reducing the minimal value to electricity cost of running a graphics card. The art for commercial purpose will follow the path of all disruptive technologies and will be replaced by automation: today AI flaws will get fixed as demand for fast, cheap and quality art meets the infinite supply. Non-commercial art will be transformed by editing with AI plugins and inpainting/outpainting will become as common as "Photoshopping". Every week there new networks and models appearing to satisfy specific niches and speed at which new art is produced is equivalent to invention of printing press. If you pick the side of 'art gatekeepers' you will not gain much, outlawing the algorithms that power diffusion/denoising is futile and datasets are replaceable. The current idea of 'artist' as prestigious occupation and its cultural impact will dissolve into fragmented insular communities that gatekeep their art as AI dwarfs their output by billions of times: you can even see AI 'artists' infiltrating and pretending to be real artists because to observers there is no difference in the final product, as result the culture will consist of 99.99% AI content and the rest will be heavily edited and AI-enchanced 'manual works' that is exemplfied by img2img workflow. There is no point wasting your best years to learn art, its like training to be a scribe when the printing press exists. Example: You can paint a few paintings per day of great quality. I can create 10K paintings per day of which 1%(100) will be on the level of top human art, randomly or subjectively. Its order of magnitude greater output of quality works that no artist can compete with.
