That wouldnt’ be surprising to find that some of the works of the Masters were created through some sort of assembly line in order to pump out paintings for the maximum dollar.
Also, lesser artists would have been apprentices and they probably helped out where they could.

Agree, plenty of paintings are attributed to e.g., Rembrandt or his school.
Yes, it was customary for assistants to do the less difficult parts of the painting, such as background figures. The artist did the most important parts, such as the hands, the hair, and the faces.
Whatvyou have written is true and I support your comment.
The “ Art World” already has numerous methods to detect
anomalies in suspect high art claims. The human eye ,sense
of smell and touch in verification of provenance all
play the part of authentication.
There is not anything in the world that can replace these
ways in documentation and verification of provenance.
With AI ? its the deception you have been warned about
because AI is garbage in/ garbage out .
Nothing can replace the human eye and its five senses.
If by some chance you invest in the art world now is the
time to hold on to what you have in your collection
and not let go.
AI “ art” will thrive because of algorithmic appeal
of what can be produced ; appealing to the tik tokers
and social media fiends & influencers
the way I look at it AI is strictly a simulacrum.
In the coming years people will tire of the ever changing
algorithms( sp?)
and seek to return , yet again , to making genuine art.
As for me and my opinion about art I will always hold
dear the artwork that I have and the art I have collected
and will treasure these pieces even more just like my
old 1994 Ford150q² long bed.
True... but on the other hand, when AI is used to create artwork, it does weird things like give human figures 3 hands, or tries to pass off obvious cormorant-cardinal mashup images as woodpeckers.
