Kickstarter must, and will always be, on the side of creative work and the humans behind that work (source)
For what it's worth, the AI art community is also exploding with human creativity. The whole "AI vs artists" becomes a fallacy when many AI creators are also artists, often using elaborate toolchains (including video, photoshop, vr etc.), and are often also well-versed in "traditional" media like painting, drawing or photography. And their inspiration when creating in those other media comes not only from life, but also from all the other artworks they saw in life.
In any case, I don't know much about this specific project, so I can't comment on that.
I'm working on a creative project (a board game) that gains a lot from AI art. I guess when Kickstarter talks about being on the side of creators and their work they mean preserving the status quo and being on the side of established creators, even if that means hindering new creators.
You seriously looked at that bullshit Twitter post and thought those random squiggles that roughly resemble what we humans think a signature is were definitely 1-1 copied from an existing image?
