New language for our publisher guidelines? "We don't knowingly sell titles that employ generative AI in any capacity. If we find out a particular title was created using AI, we reserve the right to remove AI-generated portions or delete the title from our offerings entirely." Opinions welcome

I'd suggest striking "to remove AI-generated portions" and stick to simply deleting the title from your offerings entirely. As written, removing portions of a work puts the onus on you to determine what those are and how to excise them. That's complicated. IE, what if the author claims it wasn't AI?

I've added a disclaimer to my website: "Redfern does not use generative AI for any part of their writing at any stage." I suggest other authors to the same. If you don't want to write, then don't be a writer!
