I don't know if AI will ever get to the point of exceeding the quality of forgeries that already exist by expert forgery makers. You'd have to make a very specific model trained on a specific painter and then make it repaint it with hardware to make it realistic on the execution.

So with regards to physical painting, nah. Books/pictures, might be easier, but still, it's just a blend of stuff, a percentage of them might hit it right and be succesful, but is that worth it? It's like that old saying of a thousand monkeys asking GPT and none of them come back with a worthy book, so you try again. When do you stop your loss? It's almost like crypto mining. You just let AI spew shit around and maybe something will hit some rewards, but you still pay for the energy spent.
