Ask Monet if photography made his paintings less valuable.

He would certainly reply that his paintings weren't valued so highly for their functional purpose before.

If AI art doesn't impinge on your friend's business, it's because he was selling art for art's sake rather than (as the majority of artists do to make a living) creating art to fill a functional need. The latter is what photography and AI impact.
