There are a few factors here, but it's most likely up to the laws in your country, and as far as I know, most countries do allow (or at least not explicitly ban) you to sell AI generated content, but some countries have laws which don't allow you to claim copyright over that content - meaning that you're allowed to sell it, but you couldn't e.g. prevent others from copying your book cover image and using it in their own work.

Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator

⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.
See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

MODERATORS
The law in this area is gray, at best, but law is interpreted and a court case could go either way depending on how convincing the arguments deployed are.
Your question is actually
If I got sued, would I win?
And nobody can tell you that, not even a lawyer - they could take an educated guess, but that's it. So the real question you need to answer is:
Am I willing to take the risk that I could be sued for copyright infringement for using this image, knowing that I might or might not win the court case?
And of course, only you can answer that. So... are you?
Cold.
