I’m not sure it robs us. It makes it possible, but many people including myself find the artistic products of AI to be utterly without value for the reasons you list. I will always cherish the product of lifelong dedication and human skill
It doesn't diminish - but I do find it interesting how it influences. Realism became less important, less interesting, though still valued to a lesser degree, with the ubiquity of photography. Where will human creativity move towards when certain task become trivially machine replicable? Where will human ingenuity _enabled_ by new technology make new art possible?
