>You're right that it removes some (honestly perhaps most) of the craftsmanship that comes with creating art.

Perhaps art, going forward, is simply described as the process, not the result.

I don't doubt that a computer could (or will) produce a perfectly convincing Charlie Parker solo or Richard M. Powers painting. There really was less there than met the eye (or ear) and most of human output consists of cliches in any case.

My take is to become increasingly archaic and self-sufficient in interests. Greek red figure pottery looks like a good place to end up after the walls are filled with amateur art, but a kiln looks pricey.
