I think the statement was more about the impact, which will depend on each person's subjective experience

Personally I agree. Even if AI could produce identical work, the impact would be lessened. Art is more meaningful when you know it took time and was an expression/interpretation by another human (rather than a pattern prediction algorithm Frankenstein-ing existing work together). Combine that with the volume of AI content that's produced, and the impact of any particular song/art piece is even more limited.

I'd say art is more meaningful when it's a unique experience. It's like those myths about glassmakers being ~~killed~~ blinded after the cathedral is finnished so that no one can replicate the glass color... without the killing.
