Where Is Art in Artificial Intelligence?

Is it just another tool in the hands of artists similar to the point in time when photographs appeared next to canvas paintings? Or would it go beyond that and render artists obsolete? How could art use new technology and still preserve its function as a critical insight into the hidden workings of society? Will art remain independent enough to be able to critique AI and the world it creates? Even the description of AI art is a bit simplistic if we say it is the practice of employing code, data, and machine learning systems to generate pieces of art.
