For the vast majority of artists in any genre no one pays any attention anyway. The threshold where people starts to pay attention to you is really high. If you make art for the sake of adulation, sure, good enough AI generation will make that even harder. But your odds of getting to that stage are already vanishingly small.

That’s true. It is already hard for any humans to rise to the top of the statistical distribution. Soon it will become nearly impossible, as it is in chess for example.

But a great analogy is whether people are interested in watching chess games between players rated 1300. Maybe, for like 2 minutes. Then they get bored and move on. The two players are interested in that game and that’s it !
