Call me thick, but it's like back in the day, rich bored person goes to an artist and says "paint me this and that". Except now the "rich" person calls themselves an artist and "actual" artist is replaced by AI contraption that basically regurgitates real artist works. It's kind of comical.
But also makes sense. If you wanted e.g. music, you could either look at catalogue of what's out there or try to make your own. But if no one is making what tickles you and you yourself have no talent to make what you would like to listen, the AI comes to rescue.
People don't want to watch two chess computers play even if they can both smoke Magnus Carlsen.
Art is an even more extreme version of this. Part of what makes a Dali painting a Dali painting is the mimetic desire of the general weirdness of the human Salvador Dalí.
AI can't displace human mimetic desire. AI art is just worthless muzak playing in the background at Dennys. Non-artistic/non-creative people right now are amazed at how they can make muzak but muzak is shit by its very nature.
