Listing alternative version of game?

Recently Itch has made it mandatory to say if your game has AI stuff in it, and while my game does not have any at the moment, I'm preparing a version of my game with AI art because I can't afford actual art.

I want to make the version available but don't want my normal version of the game to get filtered for containing AI art when it doesn't.

How does one go about listing something like this? Should I create a second page for my game to denote that version has AI?

Just have one page but say it doesn't use AI because the primary version doesn't?

Tell people who buy my game to email me to receive a version with art?

Imho,

If you maintain both versions of the game simultaneous, just denote the ai version as the bonus version or whatever and tag your main version.

If you switch from one art style to the other by update and want to tag correctly, tag the current version.

That is more or less what I was intending on doing, I just wasn't sure if that's allowed on Itch, to have two versions of the same game listed without you getting in trouble.

It's just the only way I could come up with to accurately denote my game using their new self-reporting system

I was talking about having the alternate version on the same project page.
