I'll say (though biased as its my current obsession) that AI art has more value in online AH storytelling. The use of it to replace stock images can carry over into a subgenre filled with them. It can also make portraits of distinct fictional people, which will help....
...if you're willing to put in the energy and effort. To get a really good AI picture means a not insignificant amount of effort and manual work. And I don't see most people who just plop down vaguely related stock photos as wanting to do that.
Which is why I feel it'd mostly be a small step up, from "stock photos" to "obvious low effort AI pictures".
