The motivation to get good at a skill related to art/music will be gone, since it takes years to attain skill. How can you train yourself to get good at something a computer can always do better? You would immediately feel defeated, and the death of the artist/musician will result. This is my very humble opinion.

That concept makes no sense to me. I am below average as a montain climber, yet I do it anyway. I push myself forward. Not for "society", for me.

I ignore other people's accomplishments, for they are not mine and of no use to me.

I may be thinking of it as a profession. As a hobby, yes I agree.

The goal of AI automation is unemployment for all.

Eventually, there will be no such thing as a profession.

People still play go,chess and dota 2, despite their being bots better than the top humans in all 3, people still ride horses despite their being vehicles, people don’t need to be the best to enjoy themselves.

Yep. I’m a 43 year-old man with no NBA aspirations and yet I still love playing basketball.

I will never be as good as Messi but I still practice football everyday because I enjoy it.

I think folk’s most significant motivations for becoming ‘good at art’ are largely the act in itself and a providing a clearer voice for themselves to express their lived experience. You can’t take either of those away, but you can strongly influence the medium. In the way that digital manipulation and illustration tools (Photoshop, Illustrator) might be considered as somehow destroying art, I wonder if people able to elaborately, thoughtfully, and majestically direct AI to create their vision may become a thing of value.

Some people just enjoy doing certain things.

I've got several hobbies that arguably computers are way better at than I could ever possibly hope to be, but that doesn't discourage me, because I do them for the sake of doing them. I enjoy it. "Because it's there."
