I would like to use the image I created for a book cover and sell it, would that be okay? Or would that be illegal?

    i once wanted to read a book, and upon closer inspection saw it was ai generated cover. I put it down, and left. it just doesnt feel real i guess. so even if legal, i wouldnt recommend it. just snap some picture remotely related and put some Text and color filters over it.

      I agree. I avoid any AI gen smell. It has the hallmarks of being subpar. Any images, however esoteric, would be much better.

    It may vary depending on your jurisdiction. Under US copyright law, I believe that generated images are not copyrightable, so you wouldn’t have any protections from anyone copying your cover, but I doubt that’s a big concern. The model or service that you use may also have various terms in their license that restrict what you are allowed to do with the generated images. Finally, you also need to make sure that your image isn’t violating someone else’s copyright. If you generate an image that is too similar to an existing image, that could be problematic.

      Okay, yes, I don’t care if someone uses the image afterwards, and I’m not trying to copy someone else’s work either…so the big if for me is…

      “is terms in their license that restrict what you are allowed to do with the generated images.”

    Dangerous question to ask on Lemmy with a strong anti-AI “in any form” presence

    Yea it would be ok, no it won’t be illegal, though it might not be copyrightable

    Is your audience the average joe? They probably won’t even notice tbh
