      you need permission to profit off of the works of others.

      but that’s exactly what I said. you can’t grab an image of Mario from google and profit from it as you can’t draw a fan art of Mario and profit from it as well as you can’t generate an image of Mario and profit from it.

      It doesn’t matter if you’re generating it with software or painting it on canvas, if it contains intellectual property of others, you can’t (legally) use it for profit.

      however, generating it and posting it as a meme on the internet falls under fair use, just like using original art and making a meme.
