Is The Digital Era Truly Destroying Art?

It's now well-known that the art world is being profoundly influenced by the latest discovered technologies. Whether we're speaking of the birth of photography in the 1800s or the rise of Artificial Intelligence in the 2000s, art always manages to emerge unscathed - further embellished, one might say.

The Digital Era has enabled anyone to have the means to express their creativity.
