First up, I'm not against AI art - I think it's incredible what we can do with computers nowadays, and AI art generation is a fantastic idea. However, I would say your statement that 'Art is only a human endeavor if it's done for intrinsic value or to share an idea or an emotion' casts an interesting pall over AI art, and its role in terms of human culture.

Overall though, perhaps I've oversimplified. The question I should have asked should have been 'if artists can't make money on it, then how can they afford to dedicate time to developing their craft and producing their art?'

Personally, my suggestion would be something like Universal Basic Income, but there are a lot of people who would be against that.
