This article highlights what I have been wondering about when it comes to AI. To start off with, AI is learning from things created by humans. But what happens when it uses AI-generated content as its learning model? I think weird stuff will happen.

The dystopian movies like The Terminator and Ex Machina are brought to mind. To quote Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurrasic Park (played by Jeff Goldblum) "just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean that you should."
Unlike many, I welcome our new AI overlords. ;) To be more precise, I think AI will end up being used as a tool by artists much like any other advance in tools in history has done. We've been here before where people have worried that new technology is going to displace artists, but in all cases artists have adapted to either use those tools themselves in interesting ways (which the non-artists can't imagine) or have stepped up to make their current art even more relevant in spite of the tech.
There will likely need to be guidelines passed by governments to protect copyrights, trademarks (voices, etc.) and the like, but, overall, this is going to create revolution in art, from music to painting/photography to writing and beyond.
People have shown me AI generated music. None of it has impressed me. Maybe I have narrow tastes.
I imagine visual artists are the same when shown works by AI - they look okay but don't have anything inherently interesting going on in them.
This might change over time but right now, they're not close to being interesting.
