I dunno. I've read a lot of GPT output. It lacks a certain consistency over medium scales. The big picture checks out, and the word-by-word grammar checks out, but the sentence-by-sentence information often isn't cohesive, or certain entity references change over time.

Text-to-image algos did the same thing for a while, but you look at the latest full-size DALL-E and it's pretty much flawless.

If I were considering art school, I'd certainly be reconsidering my options. Maybe there are some defects in the output, but nothing photoshop can't fix.

I think where humans win out (for now) is where a high degree of specificity/precision is needed (e.g. graphic design). Or certain legal requirements are present - AI art can't be copyrighted at this time - such as logo design.

Or most places where art is displayed and/or sold, because those places generally disparage purely digital art, and method is part of what goes into the valuation of the piece. "Oil on canvas" is worth more than "AI-assisted digital print", especially because duplicating it requires considerable effort.
