At some point, the quantity of good art will be vastly larger than the amount of consumption any human can do in a lifetime. Oh, I think we passed that point a while ago. I certainly don't have time for all the art I would like to experience. But: so what? Just because a given piece of art finds a relatively small audience, that doesn't mean it's not valuable to those people. We have 7 billion people on this planet now. If you release a music album, and you get .0004% of the world's population to pay $5 each for it, that's $140k, which after production expenses should be enough for you to eat for a year. Tweak the numbers if you like, but we're still looking at needing less than one person in 10^5 to pay for your album in order for you to make a living. If you reach one in 10^4, you're doing well. Do you believe some sort of "meta-art" exists that machines will not be able to perform? Yes, actually, I do. Machines will never possess original creativity. I can't prove this to you. We'll just have to wait and see. But there certainly aren't any counterexamples to be found yet.
