I have an artist who I commission for most of my book covers, but for one of them I was short on money and needed a cover in just a few days, so I used a free AI to generate a cover for me. The book is not for sale, I am making no money off of it, it was just a fun side project. Is that acceptable here on SH, or are there rules against AI generated art?

It's more than acceptable. A lot of authors use AI generated covers here. AI covers also don't forbid you from monetizing your novels. There are no rules against it here.

On a side note, can you make your cignature smaller?

This is from forum rules. No Videos and GIF's in your signature unless under a spoiler. Picture in signature should not be bigger than 200 px in height. Total height of your signature should not exceed 10 lines of 15px text.

Use it. Visual artists have been self-centered assholes for centuries. It's the best time to beat them down.

I use ai because I'm too broke to hire an artist to draw to my specifications. I'm very exacting.

If I could create an AI cover for my book I would, but I suck at AI. :s_frown:

If I don't get my hands on a USB CD-ROM drive so I can install my old graphics software I may have to go to AI myself so hope there is nothing wrong with it.
