I wouldn’t be surprised if what happened in underground music scenes will happen in the visual arts: a lot of pioneering electronic music (eg techno & house) exists completely off of the internet and is only available on vinyl (or on digital if you happen to be extremely lucky and know the producer). A lot of underground producers exclusively release on vinyl because they want their music to reach a smaller audience, remain in club spaces and collected by thoughtful curators. If generative ML requires data to catch on to new trends, then it seems reasonable that many visual artists might try copy the path of underground music producers and keep all their work completely offline.
