If you think arts and humanities are useless, you probably lack an imagination.

Like completely.

I won't say you're useless, because simple minded grunts are needed.

Humanity wouldn't exist without the arts.

Ah yes “the arts”. Definitely the point of humanities, and nothing to do with categorizing the world into “important people” and “simple minded grunts”.

Humanities students don’t read these days, and it shows.

I'd love to see some data on the people who believe that AI fundamentally can't do art and the people who believe that AI is an existential threat to artists.

Anecdotally, there seems to be a large overlap between the adherents of what seem to be mutually exclusive positions and I wish I understood that better.
