I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where human artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!

Isn’t that how it was for the majority of history? Minus the AI crap anyway.

Still, the average person has incredible opportunity to see some of the very best art, as long as they live in or near a big city. Admission to most galleries or museums is not expensive at all.

No, (though depends on your definition of art) but there's a reason that public buildings (Churches, for instance) were often the best decorated with murals, frescoes, and statues.

Also within local communities there would be musicians and artisans who were known for their work.

That said, art did become more privatised once the 17th century rolled around. Obviously varied by geographic regions, etc. (e.g. Artist items (amongst other items of worth) were deliberately shared out by many American Indian groups in potlatches as acts of redistribution.)
