While I agree with you that art will be there for as long as humans exist (since it’s something a lot of us like to do), access to other’s art might be severely diminished, especially in atomized societies.
Let’s be real, for a lot of people, internet is the source for most of their art enjoyment. As more and more of the internet is filled with soulless AI slop, it might be more and more difficult to find real art here.
I also don’t anticipate that AI will fully replace art on the internet - if you look hard enough, you will always be able to find niche communities of people doing their thing. E.g. I am quite fond of art communities here on lemmy, which seem to be mostly AI-free for now (since there’s no monetary incentive to posting here).
But I can see how someone who loves art and finds all their life’s meaning in it can be concerned with all the slop filling up mainstream artsy social media like instagram/pinterest/music streaming/etc.
