I guess I also "wish we lived in an alternate timeline where AI was automating drug discovery or protein folding faster than it was art" At the same time, however, I feel like this kind of catastrophizing about the end art has happened so many times before (e.g., with the invention of photography, the rise of abstract art, or the emergence of digital art tools). Each time, artists have adapted, found new ways to express themselves, and pushed the boundaries of creativity. AI might change the landscape of art (it certainly will), but it's unlikely to spell its end. Instead, it could (it certainly will) become a new tool for artists to explore and expand their creative horizons, much like how digital tools have been integrated into many artistic practices today.
