Anything physically taxing. Think most blue-collar work. Pretty much anything requiring a computer, or requiring creativity will be automated.

As it stands humans are really only good for physical labor. I think there's irony that in an age of advanced technology what matters the most about a person is their ability to do manual labor.

Never going to happen. Labor rights are horrid in most parts of the world, and our current economic system glorifies that. Labor is also the one thing that the general populace can leverage against the ruling class, or in the case of automation; the owner class. There's no reason for UBI when wealth can be consolidated without economical downside. The spheres are being automated as well (intellectual, comp-sci, medicine, art...etc) are the well-paying, prestigious jobs in the world. Not everyone can be a soldier, plumber, or even grocery stocker. Most blue collar work takes a toll on the body, and entry-level, physical work pays pennies.

People will be left to struggle, fend for themselves, and we'll just have to see where that takes us.

Nah, it's far cheaper for both personal, and business use that wants art. Major business can save dramatic costs on design, and people wanting commissions can save money on their end.

Art as an industry is a walking corpse, and art as a hobby is honestly isn't going to adapt well to the world we're going towards. People are going to be working long, manual labor jobs for the foreseeable future. And I don't think that gap of knowledge will be bridged after who knows how many years of scarce, human-made art when it can be processed in a prompt. No one will have time to develop art skills, and it is a legit grind in order to learn the fundamentals and the process in order to be half-decent. Just the ways of things I suppose.
