There is also something cool and interesting about AI generated art currently because it is new and fresh. At some point though that will wear off.

Personally, I love hyperrealism when it comes to painting. Of course, a child could basically take a photograph now and be on par with a master hyperrealist compared to hundreds of years ago but the output in isolation is not what matters. The display of human skill is what is interesting about hyperrealism.

Most art people love is a display of human skill and/or the personality of the artist that can't be separated from the output.

Almost anyone can get a quality piano sampler, midi sequencer and then output classical piano virtuoso music at a tempo only Yuja Wang could currently play. You could even speed it up 10X if you wanted to complete inhuman tempos. No one cares about that output though. Exactly what makes this interesting is Yuja Wang's playing that seems inhuman.

This idea that AI is going to replace all human activity is transhumanist nonsense and a simpleton view of the world IMO.
