AI Generated Nudez

Robbie Barrat is somewhat of AI lore and legend that I wish we had on Tezos. The AI art Robbie generated from GANs early on is difficult to simulate even with all the advancements since the Christie's Summit with Artnome. Essentially, a prompt engineer would need to know the prompt or prompts for the "Lost Robbies" and have the trained models to run the GAN. This in itself makes AI art unique. Historically, the first to use abc GAN... xyz Diffusion can be something special, and Robbie and others have inspired many AI artists.

Nowadays, a prompt can run in 5 iterations (not this piece specifically), but I am sure there are many pieces out there that have run on 50 or less iterations. Does this make them less valuable than others? I cannot answer this question. But once an artist told me that she could make a physical in less time than prompting AI. This is because she would go through hundreds of renders and actually sometimes edit the piece to her liking. To me, this example makes AI a sort of base.

I'm not saying AI art is right or wrong, but I do think it is interesting for the future. I think some right now, even in the crypto world, are saying AI art is not art. But, it sounds a little strange to me because web3 is an innovation supported by the same people... One day, another technology will arrive, and throughout history, there will always be naysayers.

I guess I'm saying, you can always ignore web3, AI, or any other movement that comes along. Time will tell. Maybe, this piece will disappear like many NFTs of the past. We won't know until we know.
