> We might be watching a mass disruption of art as a profession.

Like how mcdonald's disrupted the Michelin restaurants industry

It might change a very small subset of art creation, it's still far away from anything actually usable. ie it's cool to generate your DnD scenes for your weekend sessions, it won't replace an actual illustrator for a paid projects or fine art

I've seen creations that IMO are better than a lot of fine art I've seen. I acknowledge the point of fine art is not the art, but rather a conversation between the creator and the audience in an attempt to make them think or feel something.

This is some of the best art I've ever seen, to my tastes (found in a previous hn comment yesterday): https://youtu.be/Nz_n0qxqoPg

The higher end of anything is always the last to get disrupted. There are still buggy whip makers [1] and those are the classic example of an industry killed by disruption.

In this case, it's not that there won't be any demand for art, but that the lower end of art jobs may become more like working at McDonalds.

You say this in jest but think about how revolutionary fast food would be if it were introduced for the first time today. That's what happening with art.
