It has been shown that machine learning can produce creative works in both text, visual and audio, and they are indeed improving at a great pace. For example, it did not take long for ai to progress from incoherent colours with terrible anatomy to works that could pass as a decent artist's work.
So what happens if this just continues? What place will the human creative mind have beside the machines that do it better and much quicker?
(There is also the possibility that the tech hits a ceiling and never quite reaches the level of the best human work, but this post assumes otherwise)

I don’t mean this in a negative way, but if you’re concerned about AI completely supplanting human art, then you have a limited view of art.
Part of what makes great art is the intentionality and story behind it - take the abstract art movement. Most pieces aren’t technically difficult to create, but the representation and symbolism are what make the pieces so captivating.
There will always be a demand for human created art, just as there will always be a demand for naturally occurring gemstones. We can grow perfect diamonds in a lab for a fraction of the price of naturally occurring ones, yet people are still drawn to natural ones despite their flaws and imperfections.
