Art is another way of spreading ideas, just like music, books etc. It just uses mainly visual signals to tell its message. I do agree that not all art should be really deep in terms of meaning (i hate it when there's a lot of esoteric symbolism that you need to learn in order to understand even a fracture of the message; most of the time the message is useless and you have wasted your time). But at the end of the day, art can still be used for spreading ideas (simple or deep) one way or another.
Even the Mona Lisa, given the proper context, can tell you about Leonardo's ideas for good coloring, good anatomy etc. Compare him to say Picasso, who has different opinions on what beauty is, and you have a form of a debate between worldviews. 


Thinking that AI will replace drawing, composing etc. is a way of thinking that misses the point of such craftsmanship. AI can only imitate already existing creators (it feeds on data to produce) and is not creative (as >>12453 said). People want to see what (you) have to say about certain topics and the way (you) will share your opinions.
