Some people glimpse something in art that goes beyond the product, and recognise that the economic incentives we live under do not care one way or the other about it, as your comment exemplifies. Creating art often requires access to material resources, and recognising that a future with AI "art" will mean less and less funding for human art doesn't mean that people are worried about loss of social prestige or loss of financial reward. It is the recognition that at some point certain forms of art will be closed to artists because the economic mechanisms for producing them will disappear. Maybe you don't view this as a bad thing. It seems you do not care at all. But please try to be less cynical about other people and their motivations. Try and actually understand people and their concerns in good faith, and not spill your half-cooked, cynical caricatures as if they were self-evident fact.
