Swipe WELL WHAT ABOUT IMAGES? CAN I SELL THOSE? Answer: People do sell them. That’s not to say you should though. Considering that AI Generated images can’t be copyrighted.
Swipe WHAT’S THE SHORT ANSWER? Answer: Yes, but, your client is going to be very angry when they realise they can’t Copyright the AI output and don’t actually own it. Even though they paid for it.
Swipe WHAT’S THE LONG ANSWER? Answer: You have to be upfront with your client that you’re using AI. Especiailly, if you don’t plan on editing it and adding significant human-based changes.

blog.

They can’t.
