We thought we'd have time for the mental tasks as ai encroached on the menial, but it seems to be the reverse.
By every measure Turing himself considered, the Turing test has been passed. It's only the post-gpt-2 peanut gallery that have insisted on moving the goalposts straight into mysticism and magical thinking.
Machines will be better at everything humans can do, and accomplish things we cannot.
We are living in interesting times, different from anything that's come before - we exist in relation to systems that are learning to think like us.

The humans' real fear will rise when they meet with superior argument.
Really depends on whether “art” means “making drawings of things” or “making people feel something”. It’s also a very narrow domain. Dall-e can’t sculpt clay (for example), even if you attached a robot arm, without essentially replacing a bunch of the training system logic. Out of the box Dall-e has no provision to manipulate anything to produce art.
