If you believe all the likes that people generally give to photos in social media, you could say that photos that are post processed so that saturation is so much over that it hurts my eyes and extreme HDR toning used so that everything, white and black areas are revealed by the tiniest detail, then film photography (or any kind of genuinely beautiful art photography) has no chance to be valued also in public eyes. It'll remain a niche art form.
And probably AI will help making non-digital art much more esteemed.
I certainly hope so, although we haven't seen the total peak of AI art yet. My opinion is, rather gloomy one, that general opinion does not value that much the work behind the art. If an AI makes great art in the future, without any human touch, the general opinion might turn in to: "Who needs artists when we have AI?" and "New art can be generated so easily and is so much better that any human artist." The word better and the opinion of what is good art is of course debatable but again the work behind the AI code would be forgotten. By the masses.
But as I said, that's a rather gloomy opinion or prediction of the future, let's hope humanity generally will start valuing more the work behind any ready made product, art and film photography especially.
