Either AI created graphics arrived to late for the NFT craze, or they arrived in time to give them a second spring.

Being serious so, human art is what it is because it requires effort. AI art doesn't require nearly as much, is generic and abundant. In short, boring.

Effort is not a measure of quality or value in art.

Remember:

Duct tape + banana + wall + 3 minutes = incredibly valuable and controversial art.

Me taking a year to paint a detailed depiction of a bowl of fruit = worthless, terrible art.

Results are what people care about, not effort.

Your examples contradict your ending statement. If results are what people care about, neither of those would have value.

There's so many places where you don't need "real" human touched art but you could do with stylized custom images. Midjourney and friends make it a million times harder to make a living doing small time commissioned art, stuff like dungeons and dragons character and world art, furry commissions and smut, and hobby art in general.
