Working on the effects side of the business, it's been an odd last couple of years with the advent of AI. I've definitely seen it hinder projects and hurt artist friends/colleagues of mine, and I've also seen some benefit from it in specific ways. Thankfully, most major studios are stringent on whats allowed...so far (since they can't own/copyright the "look" or work of any character art done in GAI).
I think the hammer analogy is really spot on, I might have to steal that!
