Again work for hire copyright assumes the person working can create a copyrightable image. A neural network can't. Prompt engineering is changing your prompt that commissions the work but does not change the underlying lack of copyright due to non human artist. You're saying because you phrased your commission just right, the non humam artist now can copyright things and by all indications this is not true Your contribution is just an extra careful way to phrase the request for commission and does not rise to the level of authorship or copyrightability. You can do, as you say, whatever you want with the image but not because you own it, but because the image is public domain and anyone can do what they want with the image. But with a work commissioned with a human artist by default you do not own the copyright and you cannot do what you want - you could sell your copy but you do not have the ability to license it to others, barring a specific agreement with the artist for that right.
