AI's role in art is a super contentious topic and I do have a lot of feelings on that. To start I think art will not only be fine but better than ever even since there's so many more possibilities for the average person now, for example blockbuster film level CG is now no longer only in the hands of the wealthy.
It is common to dismiss things created through AI due to it removing the process and I would agree that something like animation done by hand is vastly more impressive than using AI but I would still consider it art since the creative intent is still there and I don't view the journey as a required aspect in art. It can be an extremely important aspect but it's optional cause there are types of art that are very easy and quick to do. Basically I agree with the ideas of the conceptual art movement.
Another part of this that is much deeper relates to the concept of AI/robot personhood. That is a topic that will likely become very relevant in the coming years so society will have to debate over how much value works created entirely by AI/robots have and if they can be considered art. I'm personally ready to accept that idea once they get advanced enough though it'll be incredibly contentious, much, much more so than the current debate over AI in art.
