I've heard more than once an artist say doing art is the only way to keep themselves from committing suicide. Artists gonna do art.
Another example would be someone who loves to garden. If a gardening robot was invented those people would still garden themselves.
Generative AI allows people without mechanical skill to do art, by iteratively interacting until the AI gets it just right for them, so in that sense generative AI opens up art to many more people.
As for making money from art, I believe we're going to have to implement some sort of universal basic income. I currently don't have to work because I collect social security, so I pursue my hobbies the way most other people on UBI will do.
