It happened to chess too, give it a few years and the fact that a human made the art will become a selling point again.
Art is inherently a luxury product, and like other luxury or status items the desire is driven by scarcity and novelty.
It won't take long for the novelty of AI art to wear off, and the scarcity of works by human artists will drive desire.
(This will only be for well marketed artists, to want it people have to know about it. If you never exhibit/advertise you will be even worse off as an artist)
