Obviously the creation was not worthless for many people, they enjoyed the picture very much. Perhaps it's an indication (or a reminder!) that for most people the worth of a piece of art does not depend on the skill or the process of creation, but mostly on the esthetics of the outcome; it's the death of a specific aspect of art which is the focus of art critics and some of the artists, but can be ignored by the 'art consumers'.

>it's the death of a specific aspect of art which is the focus of art critics and some of the artists, but can be ignored by the 'art consumers'. Fair enough, I'd agree with that - but I think there is no-one left but "art consumers". One could imagine a version of instagram, where the user could scroll through pages of images, all of which were generated by AI. Is that user of Instagram then an artist if they pick a favourite? If I scroll through real instagram and pick a favourite, am I now an artist?
