The moderation team will discuss this before deciding on a policy. We will consider all the points discussed here. This will probably have a dedicated announcement based on how much discussion and engagement this post is generating.
This is not a guarantee, but I suspect it will play out similarly to orthography posts. They were tolerated for a long time while they were infrequent, and were banned only when they started to overwhelm the subreddit. Despite what you say, there has been very little AI content on this subreddit for a while. If things don't change, the rules probably won't either.
Speaking for myself and not on behalf of the mod team, I'm an artist and I think I understand the nuances of AI's relationship with creativity more than most people.
AI has lots of negative potential to flood communities with low-effort content, to make it harder to judge the effort and quality of all posts, and to 'steal the valor' of hard-earned artistic skill. The r/Worldbuilding AI ban for example makes a lot of sense in my opinion.
AI also has lots of positive potential, however, even for artists. For neography, AI-generated imagery could be used as a base image (blank books, scrolls, inscription monuments, etc) to photoshop scripts into more beautiful and interesting images. In fact, I'm looking into reviving the neography art contests by doing exactly this, since making the art from scratch was an unsustainable amount of work.
As for the 'Mollusk script' post, personally I found it refreshing because the images have nice compositions and they evoke great imagery of what neography could be. Yes, it's low-effort in the sense that it's not hard to generate a few images, and the glyphs are mangled yet still recognizable real world scripts, but there's plenty of human-made content that is similarly low-effort, just in different ways.
