    Replaced implies humans are no longer writing or creating art, which obviously isn’t the case. They just have more competition now.

      Replaced implies some, likely many humans won’t be able to compete and will be driven out of the field. Not by any other more skillful artist, but simply by AI output. Which is an inevitability. Some might say it’s already happening.

          The difference is that when it comes to intellectual, creative and communication work, we aren’t the coachmen and breeders, we are the horses. After horses were no longer needed, what happened to them was very different.
