its honestly so annoying the way rich people pretend they have any goals other than carving up and harvesting everything left standing for whatever they can get

Ahh it might be worth adding a 'maximum amount of revisions, with further revisions costing extra and only after initial payment' term in your contract if you're able to write it up yourself; some people will really take the piss :/ that sucks!

Please, even if you don't CARE if genAI is used for something like this, at the very least understand that actors were striking with genuine concerns and that Mihoyo, who just last month posted job applications for opportunities to work on their games using AI, do not have their protections in mind.
Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.
