This process has happened before with electronic music. Musicians (and non-musicians) learned how to make music with computers and to discover new musical aesthetics. They didn't just try to replicate "real" music. After everybody gets bored and numb from all these fantasy pictures, artists will discover how to make art from latent spaces. What's encoded there is an input of human history. Many new things will arise by tweaking and distorting that history. Many new effects are discovered by playing with the machine. Things we cannot yet imagine, but one day a new style will pop out. As artists we work with the past and we work with our tools. With AI we take that to a new level. Copycat art is boring, but I'm sure we will see a lot more of it for a while.
