Update: My gallery show in Portland got canceled because the venue switched to AI-generated posters.
The owner told me 'the AI stuff is just cheaper and faster' after I spent 6 months painting the series they originally commissioned, so has anyone else had a client pull the rug out like this?

My cousin's band had a whole tour booked, and a week before the first show the promoter replaced them with a DJ who just plays AI-made "music" from a laptop. The whole vibe died, they lost all the gigs. It's the same cheap-out move, just a different kind of art getting scrapped.

Cheaper and faster" is a brutal thing to hear after six months of work. Did you have a signed contract for the commission and the show, or was it all just verbal agreements? That's the first place to look, because a venue just swapping your real art for AI junk at the last minute might be a breach. You should check if you can at least get paid for the paintings they asked you to make.

Double check if they legally own physical copies of the paintings since you never formally transferred that right.
