This is a really interesting and well-researched piece! I think it's fair to say that I, along with many others in the creative industries, have a lot of grave concerns about the rise of AI. It has a lot of amazing use cases in fields like science, healthcare, logistics, etc, and that's why governments like ours are excited about it, but the risk is that creative people become collateral damage.
The point you made about audiences is really important. It's completely true that AI cannot replicate the detail and emotion of human art (at least, it can't right now), but do audiences care about that? If they don't, we're in trouble.
