Soon we don't need telescopes at all?

Soon we don't need telescopes at all?To get the best possible images, you need two things. A focal length
well matched to the size of your pixels, so you are optimally sampling
the field, and the largest possible aperture. That's never going to
change, because it is fundamental physics. Unchangeable natural law.

Yes, for the best images, but not everyone endeavors for the best ? >Specially, when it cost gazillion dollars?

It has always been the case that people work with what they can
afford. It has never put high end equipment out of business. Doesn't
matter if it's cameras or telescopes or cars.
There is a new crop of inexpensive, small telescopes that you just
plop down and run from your phone, and which produce really stunning
images in just a few minutes. Really slick, and really nice for people
who don't want to make the financial investment in high end equipment
that they may only use occasionally, or who just want to show off the
sky to friends. Those instruments will open up astroimaging to a lot
more people. And serious imagers will continue to invest thousands in
better equipment that can produce better results.

There is a new crop of inexpensive, small telescopes that you justFar as I know, for the Milky Way and other open sky images, like meteor shower etc..., all it needs is a wide angle lens and a good DSL camera!

Of course, a very dark sky too!
Checked my Canon SX 40 camera, lens goes down to f/2.7, nice for sucking in light !
It also can zoom to 800 mm optical.
This new AI technology will revolutionize everything, even Astro photography on mobile phones, I think!
