'Artists' aren't very useful nowadays.

But let me play devil's advocate and say that this one has a point, at least applied to real artists.

If AI is able to create new art, that's only because so much actual art has been created in the past. You could say that about artists as well. How far would Da Vinci have gotten without Giotto? (pls no bully, I know nothing of art history).

This may be about jobs, and it's not exactly bad if modern-day "artists" lose their jobs. They're not exactly Mozarts and Da Vinics.
