Art is more personal though. There is no single path to "winning" in art, and "good art" tends to mean different things to different people.
I'm sure soon (if not now) AI can easily create art that regurgitates popular trends in the past, and perhaps some artists may find a way to use AI / other algorithmic techniques in a way that complements their personal vision. But AI is a long way off from replicating the quirks of human nature, the unique personalities and personal visions of humans. Until that happens, I can't see terribly interesting art emerging from AI alone.

None of this stuff is that good yet. I see no fundamental limit, but let's not pretend that machine-generated music or poetry is as good as the best human stuff, yet.

Actually my very first example of the classical music IS that good. The guy created and sold 13 different albums:

And they were well accepted by the music community.

Ok, I'll have to listen. I have his computer musical creativity book. Guess I should finish reading that too.

We have all kinds of visual art made by computers and AI - prom painting from photos to abstract art to 3D renders.
We have computers writing poems and haiku.
The only thing that's missing is the conceptual creation, which, let's be honest, most human artists struggle at as well. So writing and interesting story is not yet in the AI's domain.
