Nope, that's also incorrect. You get to decide what you think is art, but not what others consider art to be. That is the nature of subjectivity: your opinion holds no weight over others.

Generally, it's inter-subjectively decided what art is, which works enter the canon and are passed on. Placing it solely in each individual, "it's only a matter of taste", falls a bit short of some centuries of aesthetic theory.

Also, AI is maybe only the last straw as Silicon Valley and the digital sphere was already "transforming" the creative industry, cp this piece: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/01/the-dea...

  • No. The simple fact is that you cannot tell two people, a producer and consumer of art respectively, what kind of relationship they are allowed to have nor, what medium they express it through, or whether or not it is a valid form of creativity. It is simply none of your business, and it's exceedingly arrogant to think otherwise.
