Branding and differentiation.

People still value Amish furniture or woodworking despite Ikea existing. I love that if I want a cheap chair made of cardboard and glue that I can find something to satisfy that need; but I still buy nice furniture when I can.

AI creations are analogous. I've seen some cool AI stuff, but it definitely doesn't replace the real "organic" art one finds.

What if it's not cardboard and glue but woodworking of ultra-master quality?

These fears aren't realized if AI never achieves superhuman performance, but what if they do?

(1) It's not, currently, and isn't on the horizon despite current polish with LLM frameworks.

(2) AI has already achieved superhuman performance in breadth and, with tuning, depth.
