Is it legal to use Dall-e generated images on a commercial project?

I'm making a cypher game, similar to notpron - but completely encapsulated in it's own fake operating system. All of the pictures I'm using for the puzzle itself are generated by Dall-e mini, and I have plans on publishing the game on steam.

These are some of the images I've used for closed game testing, is this OK? Or would I need to change them before publishing?

I understand that Dall-e is under apache-2.0 license, but for my very limited understanding - that's a software license, so not quite sure how media generated by the software would be managed.

i mean they didnt copyright images on dall e, or put watermarks, so its probably okay to my knowledge.

also make sure to credit dall e

Dall-e is to be treated as an actual artist , its tough to say really, for now its probably fine. Once AI get rights and stuff, obviously things will change

You can do whatever you want. AI is not a person or whatever, and it's not even verifiable where the images came from.

It's done by a company. I wanted to use images I created for an album cover until I saw this:

Craiyon has changed the TOS to e-read if you or your company makes less than one million a year, you may use the generated images and request you credit them. That seems totally reasonable to me.
It also seems reasobale to see that someone is doing a lot of work on these, so there is a human company behind it.

That's great to hear! I definitely make less than a million per year... Actually I make less than 12K a year 😅

If anyone is interested on the full quote, this is it:

Basically, for what I understood - unless you're selling NFTs, it's completely free to use and gain income from it!

I took them a couple of weeks to reply, but it was from a human (!) who was very nice and sent me to that TOS change, which I find totally cool.

I have created a website for fun matters with some pics crafted by Dell-e. I added the following text to my website, considering that Dell-e created the pictures, but the request and creativity stem from my knowledge and creativity... Any thoughts? :
"The images on this website are crafted through a synergy of human creativity and DALL-E, an advanced AI tool by OpenAI.
