That's why Fountain By Marcel Duchamp is still covered in modern day. The deliberate FU to the old guard of art by contemporary artist is what made the art historic. You know this if you are bringing up Marcel Duchamp in the first place.
AI art shits all over the passion side of art and replaces it with clones of clones trained off the efforts of others. It's still art but more like the Cliff Note's version. No story, no effort and all stolen designs by others. It's not going to replace true art but it will shit all over gig level art that helped pay the bills for mid-level artists. Maybe cutting their art careers short before becoming the next big thing and that's kind of sad for the art community in general
