I don&#x27;t think it is possible to replace an artist. The definition of artist, that I could find, is recursive so that&#x27;s the first problem with that.<p>Then the appreciation is subjective; to replace an artist you would need something like; &#x27;I like Rembrandt but now I like this guy instead&#x27;. I used to like Jean Michel Jarre then Beethoven then Iron Maiden then Slayer then  ... etc. I still like all of these and can get excited when hearing any of them. No one of them replaced the other.<p>So we might have MORE artists. Once we accept that computers can make art &#x27;without&#x27; humans. I am fine with that, but this example is definitely not a very good example. To me it looks like fancy filters.
