For me, art is about making a human connection with the artist. To experience his/her loss, joy, emotions and to share in their story. So the idea of a computer writing a song about an imaginary heartbreak, or reading a novel by a computer about an imaginary lived experience? It's literally worthless.

Same reason AI art and animation is worthless.

Many especially of the successful musicians get their songs written by someone else (or whole teams) completely or at least partly (some don't even tell you about it and have ghost writers). And just because they sing about something and cry a little while doing it doesn't even mean it really happened even if they wrote it by themselves. So probably a huge majority of songs nowadays aren't even out of the head of the singers anymore. That may have been different in the 70s but nowadays? Nahh... 

You would also never know if animation was made by AI if nobody tells you (if it doesn't look completely weird). So it's only worthless to you the moment you hear about it which shows that in reality you would enjoy it as much as if it wouldn't be AI. You only won't enjoy it because you think about how it's from AI and not because it's really worse. But almost nobody will play a game or watch an anime and think "oh no that sequence only looks like that because of AI". At least not in the future when it's getting closer and closer to how it would look if created by a human.

You can argue about paintings and how AI only uses what it has learned from to "create" something so that it won't create something completely new but in the end all of this is something a huge majority on this planet won't care about. People may not go in a museum to see something "created" by AI but just using that for their own walls in their home? Almost nobody will care if it was a human or AI that painting comes from. 

Heck, I already see people in my friends list on Instagram liking posts of fake people. I know a woman who always likes a fake dude on Instagram with "look me in my eyes" videos and she is like "ahhhhhhh". 

My point is, yes it would be nice if everything was made by humans and those humans would also create everything on their own and also don't let other humans do it for them (like musicians) but in the end this is all something which will only stop a tiny fraction of people to enjoy whatever is the result while the majority will enjoy it exactly as much if it's made by AI or a ghost writer or like with Beyonce, a team of 24 people writing one single song.
