That’s correct. I think it’s very similar here in some European countries. And in my opinion it also means the terms of service of lot of those AI generators are meaningless. Since they also don’t own any copyright on the content you generate on their platforms, you can just sell it anyways. Even if they prohibit that.
And to add on the whole issue: All the AI stuff isn’t yet settled ultimately (in court.) You’d need to wait a few years to be absolutely sure. But despite being trained on copyrighted material, these tools don’t reproduce it one to one. I mean theoretically they probably might be capable, but usually that’s not what’s happening. So most things should be safe for the user. BUT: It’s not all about copyright. There is trademark law and other things. And AI might very well draw a Mickey Mouse or other things and it might not be okay to sell those.
Are there good (more ethical? cheaper?) OF alternatives? That’s not my world at all…
