Not that you would recognize your contribution to an AI creation.

Unless of course you watermark your image and the AI is stupid enough to recreate your watermark.

I sell my work from my website and occasionally exhibit in museums and galleries.

Did you lose the sales because the buyers saw the image on the internet or because the buyers just downloaded what you had posted? Or someone identified the buyers and offered the photos for less? One way or another, it seems like the buyers were either complicit or not very serious.

They saw the image and since it would not be a highly limited photo, they cancelled the sale.

OK, I looked through some of your earlier posts on the subject. So as I understand it, you felt you would have more sales of prints if people were not able to copy your photos off the internet. But the other side of the coin is that if you don't post on the Internet, fewer people will be aware of your work.

I had a market without internet and I did not need internet to get a market.

Not sure why the appearance of a photo on the internet would negate its being a limited edition. But who knows how people come up with excuses.
