It is a good question relevant to the big 3 creative mediums today, visual, music, and text... which are all seeing very interesting results with regards to neural net generation. Remember that we are still in the very early stages of the development of these techniques. The quality will end up phenomenal and you will be able to generate works perhaps on par of quality with a human, but in infinite more volume and lower cost. There may even be artistic techniques that are simply out of reach without these techniques. (Think of trying to make movies in the year 1000... it's not quite the same as today.) I think we will also see that art is not entirely about communication, but also to a big deal simply created in the eye of the beholder.

But is it about quantity and speed though? I think, as human, lingering on a subject is actually working/brewing an idea subconsciously. If everything becomes possible with these tools and they become indispensable we;re going to end up with poorer writers. The effort and the hard stuff makes good writers... I've had this vision that one day you may write a simple text and when done with it one will be able to choose a command and the same content of the text transforms to the style of Italo Calvino or Hemingway or GG Marquez or whatever you want. At the end of the vision I asked myself what it would mean. My answer was complete vulgarization of anything. This general trend we're heading to where anybody can do anything effortlessly reminds me of Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End. Great book btw.
