Yes, because art evolves over time.
As it very likely will with generative art.
And even with that evolution, people still use paint, and people will still use instruments and make music the same ways we always have...
My point is that photography is essentially a simulacra of reality, yet it unexpectedly created its own art form and influenced existing ones. So will the use of LLMs for generation
But from what I saw there are less living horses today than 200 years ago, and although that just a proxy for horse riders I believe the same applies for painters, especially non-hobbyists
I don't see why this can't happen with AI, or at least I am not certain like you it can't happen
I think and have always thought the exact same thing will happen with generative AI.
By extension then also what it means to interact with other humans as we become more used to interacting with AIs, our interactions with each other will change.
Along with these improvements, depending on which side of the fence you stand, the releasing of humans to focus on consumption while AI produce the triggers for our consumption, i.e., the advertising.
AI is moving into far more spaces of human activity than the camera ever did. But that could also be because painting wasn't such a broadly practiced activity as thinking seems to be.

Or did you just read the title of the second article and not realize it’s not being literal but capturing the anxiety of the painters in the 19th century?
Apart from that our interaction seem overly emotional for me so I'd leave it as that
It's very obvious that it's polluting and/or killing everything it touched so far though
this doesn't mean this can't be controlled by someone talented
Have you been to a contemporary art museum?
It largely killed an industry which was everywhere, sure there are still paintings and it's a primer art form. The number of paintings commissioned and number of painters fell drastically since the 19th century to the point I am willing to guess you have never had your portrait taken, something that was common place in the equivalent pay grades of today tech workers. Regarding the art form it is also arguably less important in people's life then it used to be (while museums still exist), However most music today is still mostly a profession rather than pure art for the sake of art
We can continue discussing whether the word kill is a metaphor or must be used only for a zero or one situation but I don't think that's interesting enough compared to the actual topic
It's not obvious that LLM generation won't create more interesting music experiences (for lack of non-marketing speak for self curated music)
