Assuming this was done in a US jurisdiction it doesn't matter what license you put on it as it is public domain and it needs no license. The US copyright office has ruled that anything AI generated is not covered by copyright.
Correction: it has ruled that anything AI generated is not copyrightable. That's a very important little difference and it does not mean that the production of the AI is not covered by copyright, it may well be (though proving that is going to be hard in most cases).
I'm not sure I see the difference. The rule is that anything not produced by a human is not copyrightable and is in the public domain. If something is not copyrightable and in the public domain how can it be covered by copyright?

The difference is massive because the source material is covered by copyright. So even if the product can't be copyrighted there is a fair chance that you'll get your ass sued by whoever is able to trace back some critical part of that product to their own work of which yours is now a derived work.
