I wonder why you think that. If computers can do everything as good if not better than a human (we aren't there yet with AI art, but it's coming) then what are people supposed to do for work? How do we better ourselves? Increasingly sophisticated robots will come for most manual labor jobs in time. In the past, new technological innovations created new jobs. With competent machine learning and good robotics, you just won't need nearly as many people working as we have now. People dream of a more enlightened humanity with greater leisure time and UBI, but that doesn't seem to be the path the world is headed down.

AI "art" is also problematic for other reasons than taking jobs. Images and voices can already be generated with OK realism, and in time they will be perfectly real. Video and 3D modeling are being worked on. You'll soon be able to fabricate news and criminal evidence that is indistinguishable from reality. Our legal system and society at large aren't prepared for that. Another negative social aspect is the diminishing and devaluing of human creativity: already people are claiming that they "painted" or "drew" an AI image, often one generated with a common prompt that they changed a word or two for. They often won't admit it when confronted either, even if they have a picture with that weird floating ghost text or funky hands and fingers that even a total beginner wouldn't draw. There has even been at least one case of somebody taking what an artist was drawing in a live stream and having an AI "finish" the piece. If you have the know-how, you can apparently already train the AI to produce works in the style of even relatively unknown artists if you have several pieces.

It's kind of a more philosophical thing, but if computers can even mimic human creativity, then what can humans do to find meaning or value?

My brother in Christ, no one, and I mean absolutely no one, is going to read all that text you just typed.
