But that's a senseless endeavour. We create art not for money, but for fun and expression.

You forgot the most important and most common use of art: viewing and listening.

AI can already produce good music, good images. At least I found some that I liked.

And AI doesn't stop you from making art and having fun doing so.

The entire point of art is about human experience. If we’re really going to automate humans out of art (I don’t believe we will), and you really just want to look at some AI pictures that you like, why stop there? Why don’t we just go straight to the brain stem and have AI-administered doses of dopamine?

That's not the entire point of art. There are many points of art: inspiration, expression, fun, interior design, exterior design, etc.

AI can create art that covers all of the above, except maybe expression.

Just give everyone anti depressants!

Still welcome to do so. Pottery remains a very popular hobby despite the fact that you can buy factory-made cookware.

Even "better" is a wild statement about art in general. A gigantic part of art is the expression itself.. exactly what this takes away.
