Let's take "survive" to mean survive financially based on one's ability to produce art with commercial value during their lifetimes.
As others do, I think art is much more than than the piece itself, through whatever senses we use to perceive it. It is also the story of its creator and the wider context of its creation, as well as history of its movement through the world including those of its various owners.
I think this leaves tremendous room for human artists today and far into the future. Further, I believe some artists, and there certainly exists those who have tried already, will direct machine learning based art, adapting it to be more likely to succeed based on those factors I indicated.
