How can we not be depressed by AI?

I have a confession. The thought of AI makes me unutterably depressed. Take my sigpic. In its full glory (it's slightly blurred compared to the picture I originally submitted to BC) it was a pretty good simulacrum of Van Gogh. Yes, something seems wrong with the knuckles on the right hand, but overall, it's pretty good. Possibly as good as an actual Van Gogh, and with a subject matter I find more appealing. But this didn't take days for a painter to paint. It took seconds for an image generator. And it seems there is no area - not the creative arts, not scientific discovery - in which AI will not eventually be able to do things better than a human. And then what? Humans will never again be able to feel pride over performing a useful task for their community, for nothing they can do can help their community as well as an AI can if set the same task. In fact, humans will no longer do anything at all. We shall become mere consumers. Will we be happy? Should we be happy? It is this that makes AI depressing. Humans are surplus to requirements. Even as consumers, probably machines will soon outstrip us. There will be AIs that can appreciate works of art in the way that an expert can, and thus on a much deeper level than most of us. We will become inept even as consumers. The only solution I can think of is that human communities will come to reject AI. But the human race in general cannot reject AI whilst it is divided into mutually hostile territorial states. The only possibility is that once self-aware artificial superintelligence takes over everything, it will dismantle all existing states as posing a threat to life and to itself. Well, ideas anyone? How can we not be depressed at the coming age of complete human redundancy?
