I’d guess your work is in the blended category where the people currently anti-ai are being incorrect by their own lights, and your work did not in fact risk the thing they are trying to protect. I’d guess purely ai generated art will remain unpopular even with the periphery, but high-human-artistry ai art will become more appreciated by the central groups as it becomes more apparent that that doesn’t compete the way they thought it did. I also doubt it will displace human-first art, as that’s going to stay mildly harder to create with ai as long as there’s a culture of using ai in ways that are distinct from human art, and therefore lower availability of AI designed specifically to imitate the always-subtly-shifting most recent human-artist-made-by-hand style. It’s already possible to imitate, but it would require different architectures.
