The art and humanities is more a side project

I'll add:

A side project that isn't a life or death situation like most of those physical labor things you're talking about. Art isn't also bound or constrain by rules and regulations like those jobs and if the AI fails at art then there's no problem. Nobody would care.

Besides, if it fails at art it might even create something we never thought

this is fundamentally the opposite of what generative AI does. its fail state is basically regurgitating its training data intact.

Yeah pretty much. I think. I am no art connoisseur though. If I see pretty drawings or images or whatever, I like.
