What does “better” mean in this context? The camera was a better at capturing realism than any painter who ever lived. While we still have people who paint in that style, there aren’t nearly as many, and art took new shapes and forms.

Most “good” art isn’t just what you see, it’s also the story behind it. Why was it made? What is the story of the artist? What does it make you feel?

AI might allow more people to tell some of those stories they may have lacked the raw skills to tell before. And for those who have the skills, they can make exactly what they envision, without being limited by some of the randomness in the AI. I think there will always be a place for that, and at the top of the market, that’s what people want.
