No. People create art as a form of expression and other people enjoy it because it resonates with them. Nobody that’s inclined to artistically express a thought or feeling is going to give up on creativity because maybe somebody that isn’t really interested in creating art might be able to type words into their computer and spit out something vaguely similar.
That aside, humans are necessary for making up new forms and styles. There was no cubism before Picasso and Braque, or pointillism before Seurat and Signac. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone argue that if you trained a diffusion model on only the art that Osamu Tezuka was exposed to before he turned 24 it would output Astro Boy.
