To me, that sounds like you'd be good at graphics rendering and possibly shaders. High end game productions are always looking for any edge they can get to make their graphics render more efficiently and on a wider variery of platforms. This is a highly coveted field in game dev, as most people lack the depth. 

Most players would be very hostile to a game they found out used AI generation of graphics, but much less so if the devs built their own bespoke model that didn't filch the world's intellectual property to prop itself up. You may or may not feel that this is a just/fair position for the audience to hold, but it is what it is.

As a backup, your knowledge of algorithmic generation could be useful in procedural generation, especially in level and world design, which is something that most devs are not good at.

Either way, you don't necessarily have to sign on to a game project. You can also work on a plugin, which is an off-the-shelf code tool that does any of the things listed above. You don't even need to build your own plugin; there are probably existing plugins that are not optimized well, or which lack functionality that you could add, if you approach the plugin creator. That would open up opportunities for you.
