feel free to audit my comments to confirm my distinct lack of gpt enthusiasm but that question is unanswerable.
What is "creating art"? A distinctly human thing? then trivially no. Idk how many people go with this interpretation though. Although I think many artists and art appreciators do at least some of the time.
Is it drawing pretty pictures? Probably too reductive for even the most hardline tech enthusiasts but computers are already very good at this. If I want to say get my face in something that looks like an old timey oil painting computers are way faster than humans.
Is it making things that make us feel something? They can probably get pretty good at this. Although it's unclear how novel the results will be most people aren't exposed to most art so you could probably produce novel feelings on an individual level pretty well.
Art is so fuzzy and used with such a range of definitions it's not really clear what this is asking.
Even if they're better the future might still suck. Machines are technically better at all the components of carpentry than humans but I'd rather furniture wasn't souless minimalist MDF landfill garbage and carpenters could still earn a living. Even if that means my chairs were a bit uneven.
