The style associated with AI image generators is by no means all they are capable of, it’s what is both actuallypopular in use and promoted by vendors because they expect it to be popular and blandly inoffensive.

Also there's nothing inherent in currently popular style that makes it “canned expression”; is used for canned expression because it’s popular; when popular tastes shift, so does canned expression; that's how commercial vs. fine art moves.

If AI changes the details of that other than accelerating the process, it’ll probably be by a “Latinum is valuable because you can't replicate it” effect, which probably won’t hit exactly where what current professional artist see as most interesting is any more than it will hit where current populat art is.
