The value of a masterpiece is quantified in the human ingenuity and labor (aka craftsmanship) that it took to produce.
Michealangelo’s David is a masterpiece that took one of the greatest marble workers and masters of human anatomy to carve.
A completely identical David produced by a machine, or a 3D print of it, based on a model derived by a GAN, is worthless.

People won’t want to see it if the real value is to sit and admire how a human could have done that to a slab of marble. But oftentimes people are happy to buy a print rather than the original because they just like the end product. Trying to assign value to art is perilous. Who cares if my print that I admire every day isn’t an original? I’m not trying to launder money.
