It's the artists that WotC hire that choose to use ML generated content in their art, WotC themselves already had a "no ML art" policy long before this controversy.
WotC was more a jumping-off point for this discussion, since I was replying to someone who was talking about his own use of AI.
(But realistically, we've all seen how WotC behaves recently. Chances are this is a test to see if there's pushback before they go for it for real)
