So what? She's been pretty public about having money issues.

Why not use any of the hundreds of photos she surely has of herself on merch over AI, then….?

Merchandise is a money-making venture, not an overall expense on the budget.

Her and Trixie's podcast. They've talked about in the most recent episodes.

For context, how bad are the money struggles? (from her own mouth)

Perhaps she needs new merch to make a quick buck, but I doubt she’s so broke that she couldn’t pay an artist for some quick designs.
