2oldman is knowledgeable camper. Most boondockers locate at elevations/locations which cool off enough not to require AC.
But... if you're camping in southeast w/ spouse who doesn't tolerate heat, what can you do but run the generator and AC? If it truly won't disturb anyone, and you can address the CO problem go for it. Make sure your CO detector is working properly.
Also, rant warning, it is long past time for MFG to clean up the exhaust of generators. That they're so stinky and CO laden is ridiculous in this day and age.
