That policy still seems clear as mud if you're using, say, generative AI within Photoshop to help design components of a cover design. I'm also not sure how that's really different from using CC or public domain imagery as part of a design.
"AI-generated: We define AI-generated content as text, images, or translations created by an AI-based tool. If you used an AI-based tool to create the actual content (whether text, images, or translations), it is considered "AI-generated," even if you applied substantial edits afterwards."
My reading of that is that, if you use AI to create any image even in part, that's AI generated.
We just released a new app onto the Apple App Store.
In order to do this, we need to submit a bunch of screenshots, preview videos, and text.
The images and videos, we hand-crafted. A lot of folks automate this, but I think that it's better to hand-craft, if possible, because we need to ensure that specific contexts and whatnot are reflected, and that user privacy is respected.
For the text, we developed a fairly dry blurb, and then I asked ChatGPT4 to rewrite.
I hit "refresh" a few times, and wrote up a text document with the results, and shared that with the team.
We then picked the parts we wanted, and wrote some of our own.
None of the ChatGPT-generated summaries was sufficient, on its own merits. We had to cut-and-paste (sometimes changing the order, and changing to make sure that there was consistency), and add our own content, as well.

I personally know someone who published about a dozen AI-generated Kindle books before being notified of this policy, and none of it has been removed.
