statement on AI generated art

I ain't trying to tell anyone what to do, but:

As a publisher:

I'm not going to use AI generated art in any situation where, before AI art, I would have paid an actual artist.

I'm not trying to make money from AI art.

If I'm paying someone else to do art, I don't mind if they utilize AI as one of their tools, but I'd like them to disclose the degree to which they used AI.

I'm not going to try to pass off AI generated art as anything but.

And as an individual, I may play around with AI art but:

I'm not going to call myself an 'artist' for making AI art.

I'm not going to purposefully use the style of a living artist (unless they said it was okay).
