I think the problem here is a societal one. One born of capitalism, that does not value art in itself but only the value people ascribe to it. And the problem I see is less that it replaces good artists, but that it takes away menial work that artists might use to support their more artistic endeavors.

I think this is a real problem worthy of much discussion, but I also think this is not primarily an AI topic but more a general one about what kind of human expression our societies value and want to encourage. You can't stop progress here, though we could decide to not like it and do something else.
