AI is there and will stay there. It will evolve as all technology does. The generative AI is just a thinny piece of the software application, and that will stay too.

I get a little confused when he - and others - talk about 'art' in connection with AI. What he shows is not 'art'. 'Real' artists - with pen, paper and painting will never disappear no matter how much AI. But it will certainly make life miserable for many commercial photographers who do not adapt. AI as an assistive tool will never die and we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. In the next several years, the use of AI will be intensified within all branches of creative production: films, images, drawings, theatre, music - and not least computer games. In order to use AI as a visual language, however, it is necessary to be a kind of artist yourself. Few can, for example, create electronic music without possessing talent and musicianship. And AI will largely function as auxiliary tools for both 'free' artists and commercial artists. And the results will be even more exceptional. The only thing that can stop the development (but probably only for a period) is the legislation, which he is also aware of. But that seems unlikely given the complexity surrounding AI and training.

Your definition of art is limited. Taking your definition and exaggerating a bit more, I came to the conclusion that the real art involves cave painting only. This doesn't work.
