How does it work, say i pay for one of the ais, I get it to build me a game. Is the game mine? Do I have freedom to sell and make money off of it? Or do I owe royalties to the ai company?
if the AI TOS does not explicitly say you will owe royalties for profiting off its services then no, there is no US law that states you owe the AI tool any royalties.
Most AI game‑making tools charge a subscription or per‑use fee, but they do not automatically take a royalty from your game sales unless stated in their contract.
its all in the details of the 'commercial rights' terms of services
also, you can only copywrite human made parts of the software. This means competitors can copy AI‑only assets without liability, and you cannot claim copyright over them.
