This sounds nice, but how many people out there actually want to do "writing and art" purely for their own enjoyment? I know they are out there, but I wouldn't actually place a bet that that number is bigger than people who enjoy doing laundry.
I think people are missing the forest for the trees - if AI does become the ultimate media wish-fulfillment machine, and I have no need for the creative visions of others - what else is there in life besides consumption and chores?

Quick clarifying question, do you think the number of people that enjoy doing laundry is comparable to the number of people that like making art?
Making art to share and impress others is one thing, but OP's quote implies that it's only for people's self enjoyment.
I don't doubt that there are people who enjoy painting and never plan on displaying anything. But I also don't doubt that there are people who enjoy doing their laundry.
Why would you assume people only want to do art for self enjoyment? That was not my interpretation of the quote at all
I mean, if you have ever been around theater kids for a minute you’d know they are the most extroverted people on the planet and bringing joy to as many people as possible is exactly what drives them
