I hope you're right but the feeling I get is that it's going to increase the _supply_ of art until it becomes meaningless. For instance why should anybody paint an astronaut on a horse anymore? It was a great idea and now it's been done.

In the near future when you look at art you won't know whether it was created directly by a human or by an AI. What will that do to its appreciation?

Why is a human-painting of an astronaut on a horse valuable now?

I view this as detangling composition from the mechanical skills of art production.

Perhaps this will make a new type of art job - AI wrangler - whose job is collaborating with AI to get a good composition, then the composition can be handed over to someone with the mechanical skills to render it in the real world, if humans making the brush strokes is important.

I'd imagine that if we gave these tools to a skilled painter to help in their compositional brainstorming process, they'd find many good ideas they'd like to incorporate into their works in a short period of time. But, I'm not a skilled painter, so could be wrong.

That's a good point. A lot of what I read in sci-fi these days is the job of AI wrangler but the idea of using it as a rapid development platform for cool ideas is also super cool.
