That's not the point at all. As I said, it's a thought experiment.
IF, a very big if, AI could create art objectively better than any human (by human standards), is that art less valuable because a human didn't do it? No. Because it's the art we're judging, not the person/process by which it was created.
Additionally, what if humans controlling AI tools lead to the creation of art that is objectively better than art created without AI tools? If it's better (judged by humans), then it's better.
I want to see all the potential of these tools used by humans, in addition to whatever else they could provide by themselves, especially if it ever leads to anything like AGI.
"Ai slop" doesn't to this yet, and maybe it never will, but maybe it will. I want to see what it might be able to do, preferably for the benefit of everyone, not just the billionaire class.
There is a big difference between the statue of David and a 3d printed figure of it. Even if it was the same size and even visually identical, the hand carved one is always more important to people, because someone put the effort and thought into it, and the other is a cheap replica.
