Graphic arts have always been about the money, so I'd guess whatever happens on the technical side will have little effect on the art market in general.
For instance the emergence of extremely good reproductions didn't affect the price of the original paintings. Same way the evolution of photoshop doesn't have much effect on the price of picture prints.
Now stock photography could be impacted. But otherwise generative AI only opens the door to more picture production, and won't be put in competition to the traditional painting/prints market/direct artist support market.

As an aside I always find it funny when 'art' is used as short form for 'pictures', especially in the world's context.
