My art teacher said AI images were just fancy clip art, but I sold one for $50

She told our class last semester that AI art had no 'human soul' and was just for making memes. I kept making pieces anyway and entered one in a small online contest. The judges picked it for a digital gallery show, and someone bought a print from my site. It wasn't about proving her wrong, but it showed me value is in the eye of the beholder. Has anyone else had a teacher or mentor dismiss your AI work, only for it to find an audience?

Your teacher called it fancy clip art but you got fifty bucks for it. That's a pretty solid argument against her point. Money talks.

See this a lot with new tech, people dismiss it until it pays the bills.
