We're approaching our Pointillism phase, where making photorealistic art just isn't an accomplishment in itself anymore. This will only get more true as scanned resources get easier to use, and the AI generative tools have an increasingly good handle on photorealism/rigging/anim cycles/etc. So what, it looks real. So what. The art's the thing. How does it make people feel, think, dream? Hnnh. This was sentimental. Anyway, just me talking out loud as a Blender hobbyist since 1998 or so - never did it for money, so what do I know?
