But do we really need AI to generate art?

No, but we want it to. It's probably only a matter of time untill AI can do better anything that humans can, including art. Now if there's an option to view great art done by humans or amazing art done by AI I'll go with the latter. It can already generate better photographs than I can capture with my camera but I couldn't care less. Takes zero joy out of my photography hobby. I'm not doing it for money.
