I have a hard time being worried until AI actually becomes comparable to human intelligence (and then art will probably be a lesser concern amongst others). Why? Because art is about the generation of things that people find appealing, which you can automate, but it's as much about am emotional conversation between people (using a "language" words can't replicate), interest in artists as people, and doing novel things. My suspicion is that whatever great thing people can do with AI, in the ways it exists now, people will get bored with it very, very quickly and move on to something they feel is more soulful.
