The sharpest lines that I've been seen drawn lately for/against AI art seem to be between most normal people and the weird VC freaks who are pivoting from Web3/NFT/Metaverse grifts to selling the dream of building the greatest MMO the world has ever known by whispering "FFXIV but it doesn't take 200 hours to get good" into a laptop.
I'm definitely on the anti side from that perspective, but I still think the reality is that it's a tool that can do a few specific things that are kinda cool and moderately useful, but even setting the legal/moral issues aside, the technique being used has certain limitations that will make it unsuitable as a replacement for original art.
I can see its main commercial application being infill on existing images. For example, if you have a photo of a living room for a real estate listing, you might want to add some wall art or edit a few things that would be hard to do with conventional editing tools. It's going to become another way to Photoshop, essentially.
