Start a brand or company based around your work, and sell based on name recognition rather than price/quality/ease of use/timing/whatever.

AI can create art or program. It can write text. And in future, it'll be able to make videos and music too.

But it can't BE someone else, not legally at least. A random AI cannot replace a popular celebrity because its their name that matters the most, not the objective quality of their work. It can't outcompete Disney or Marvel or DC or Nintendo at their own game, because their works are protected by IP laws and sell based on their characters and brands as much as the objective quality of the works.

So don't just draw or write or program in a way that you can be replaced. Do so under your own name/brand, so people pick you over the AI copycats based on your personality and image alone. If you become the next Stephen King or George RR Martin or Markiplier, people will check out your work because it's your work, and no amount of tech can ever compete on that front.
