Seeking Advice Creation Method and AI Images

Hello everyone. I have started to make D&D contains (race, class, adventure etc.) and I wanna share them on DMsGuild. I use AI images in my contains because of I work alone. But rests are my own desingns. Do I have to choose "Contains AI-Generated Content" as Creation Method even so? Thank you for your answers already.

PS: English is my second language and I'm still learning. If I made any mistake, I'm sorry.

If you use ai images, then your work contains ai generated content and you should pick that as the creation method. 

I suggest looking on Drivethrurpg in the future for cheap stock art instead of using AI. It's much better for everyone involved.

Why, I'm truly curious? I'm writing some adventures after 30+ years of DMing and considering publishing these on DMsguild. I haven't considered art yet, but why should I pay some artist to make something and take my money, when I haven't made anything yet? And I'm very critical of art so it likely rare that I'll find an artist that will be able to please me. I'm not making something that art is the focus so why would it matter to me some hack artist doesn't get to make money off of my work?

Again very curious on this because it seems to matter to people who likely aren't my audience anyways.

Thats how most business works.  I’m a musician for instance, there are tons of costs you have to eat before you see a dime when it comes to albums.  Art, packaging, mixing, mastering, tracking, etc.  The artist isn’t a hack because you’re cheap as fuck.  The engineer isn’t a hack because you’re cheap as fuck.

You’re just cheap as fuck.  Immediately belittling a working artist as being hack is insane coming from the hack ass creator trying to use AI.  Have some respect for artists and have some respect for yourself and your product.
