Did you see the results? And the ones from other models like Midjourney? Many of these images are not just "passable composites" but can easily trick you as creations by human artists of high caliber. And this is only the beginning. Human artists also mine the past of the collective eons of human imagination, unconsciously. We are in many ways products of the past influencing us from the time we are born. GPT-3, DALLE-2 and the likes are not only a marvelous and almost magical novel technique, but they also have very deep philosophical implications about what we are and what is the thing we call "culture" and "language".

Nitpick: human illustrators of high calibre, not artists, which usually implies conceptual art and requires capabilities AI does not yet possess.

The stuff I see in contemporary art museums is only occasionally clearly better than what DALL-E produces. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if you put a selected collection of its images in a museum.

Not so sure, check this twitter threads with conceptual images generated from abstract prompts: https://twitter.com/nickcammarata/status/1513977172888887302

And as said before, this is only the beginning.
