Can you tell me if you know of any AI that generates images without copyright? I will still modify it.
Adobe claims Firefly is safe for commercial use because it's trained on their own stock art and I think maybe images in the public domain.
Example:
"Space Balls" George Lucas gave the ok but with terms for no merch etc.
Parodies are fair use under the Copyright act. If Mel Brooks asked George Lucas for permission, it was only a courtesy, because he didn't have to. I remember Robot Chicken created a Calvin and Hobbes parody and Bill Watterson would never had agreed to that.
If your game is successful enough that anybody cares you can worry about it then and should be >happy you have the problem. Everybody and their dog is using AI art for their new games.
So don't worry about consequences until you're in trouble, then be happy you're in trouble? You're an interesting person.
