Some Clarification on Hybrid Production?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this.

I have taken songs written and (very badly) recorded over 20 years ago and "covered" them using A.I. (Suno) from the original songs' uploaded files. The originals have only guitar (by either myself or my cousin), vocals (by me), and sometimes Fruity Loops beats/melodies (again, made by myself). While the final product/songs that I would potentially be posting here would be based on "real" human production (including all riffs and vocal melodies), what the listener hears is completely made by A.I. Am I violating any rules posting these songs?

In most cases, I have employed little to no post-generated DAW work (I'm still working on getting my chops up in this...) and have forgotten virtually everything I learned back then (how to "sing" and play guitar, properly mix and so on), so re-recording these songs from scratch or from generated AI stems is basically out of the question (at least right now). I've tried my hardest (for the most part) to keep these songs as "close as possible" to the original, but there are some very obvious differences (to me). There is always a bit of imposter syndrome with me and my/our music (especially around A.I.). I have all the original recordings, can tell you when and where each song was recorded, what equipment was used, and (depending on the song) where most of the lyrics were written and what they're actually referring to. In regards to the "Covered" Suno versions, I can say what prompts were used, what was changed in the 20 years between, and try my best to pinpoint the differences between the original and the "new version".

I completely appreciate what is being done here, but am unsure where my place is, if there is one. I feel constantly torn between the opposing forces of Suno-shillers peddling their "AI slop" and AI-hating musicians. I don't want to mis-represent myself as I don't consider myself much of a musician (though I could sorta play guitar at one point and have screamed terribly into a mic). I also don't know much about A.I. except it makes my old songs sound better (to me at least).
