Reply to comment by FilthyCommieAccount in The Impact of Generative AI Art on Society and Culture: Will It Replace Human Artists? by _Daneel_Olivaw

Art is the expression and self-actualization of the artist and takes a wide variety of forms. Art will exist as long as people have a complex inner life and want to express it symbolically.

Nowhere did I say that all artists will disappear. I even drew an analogy to furniture makers. What I'm saying is that commodity art is probably going to get automated in the same way as furniture making is mainly done by machines now.

Yes there will always be a place for human artists but that place won't be in commodity art. It'll be a luxury good like handmade furniture and the few that do make handmade art for a living will get paid well but emphasis on the few. The market for humans will be much smaller.
