Ew. Don’t sell AI-generated crap. Besides, anything generated with an AI is public domain. You can’t claim copyright on it because you weren’t the one who made it, the AI was. Have fun stopping people from copying it.

Why sell an image when anyone can generate the same one with a few words using your model?
If you want to share stuff, fine, but why sell it? If you want to get money, find a job

Have a read on the ToS. If you have the copyright, I don’t see any significant issue. However, the selling platform might have restrictions on AI generated content so you need to check that too.

Ask them. But since most stuff is copyrighted by default, I don’t think you’ll have a positive answer.

Adobe Stock requires they be clearly marked as AI generated.

I believe you can’t, unless you use your own personal AI, but anyway, I think there is not so much people who would pay for AI generated stuff, but who knows give it a try if it doesn’t work at least you will learn something.

Not sure if you are in the US or not but just so you are aware, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will not issue a copyright to AI generated content. I don’t know what the laws are outside the US, but other jurisdictions may be similar. The upshot of this is that while you may try to sell AI generated content, you will not be able to enforce any sort of copyright on it. Many (those whose countries don’t recognize copyrights on AI generated content) will be able to take what you post/sell and sell it or use it as their own without having to pay you anything.

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.
