You know... your bringingUP some really interesting things to discuss! I have been wondering about the same things. AI generated art is shakingUP the whole art world and one thing is sure... we are never going back to the way it was!
I think it's not a coincidence that NFT's broke out first... and now AI Art. This leads to my question.
If art can now be generated (with human inputs yes) within seconds does this translate into a crashing NFT market place? I'm certain this is flooding the NFT markets... so how does one know what real value is? Single image art works must be effected. If I can just generate my own art... why even buy an NFT? Looks pretty risky to me! (Especially in a bear/bubble market.)
Do you have any thoughts about this?

P.S. Followed you AND targeted ⭕ this post with @comet.ranker! Eyes to the skies! ☄️
Thank you for reBlurting this one, Wil! I appreciate selective reBlurting efforts... stuff more people need to see. I have trouble following anyone who reBlurts everything they see, like it's just another upvote button. My feed is sacred to me, I don't want too much unsolicited stuff on there! But this is an example of something well worth sharing, so thank you for doing so. You are truly a team player around here! I too am happy to target ⭕ this post with a full upvote. And I am also following along to see what Pradesh contributes here!
I don't know much about NFTs, other than I haven't felt the desire to collect any. But you bring up a good point, which is that there is some overlap between the concept of machine intelligence artwork, and NFTs.
I am exactly the same way when it comes to my feed... especially when you consider the fact that once you have reBlurted something it will always be present on your blog's page.
@comet.ranker is special though... it can be considered a service with the mission of incentivizing and encouraging authentic engagment in the comments.
Each post that is Targeted ⭕ is supported with a 100% UPvote from @comet.ranker AND all comments paired with that post are subsequently ranked (by a human... me at the moment!) in order of how they contribute/add to the content or connect with the author (or other commenters) of the post.
Higher quality comments are graded higher in the feed (if sorted according to Blurt earnings) and will eventually cement in place once the 7 day reward cycle has transpired.
Comments are also a way to make content evergreen and demonstrate attention (value) that the community ascribes to the content.
When outside eyes look in on what we are producing here on Blurt it is important that they see a vibrant amount of authentic engagment. It could even be said that the health/wellbeing of the blockchain is determined by the engagment (care) that surrounds it.
Thought I would take some time to explain (one of) @comet.ranker's functions. There is so much more being develloped (or already develloped) to better support Social Capital and the overall well-being of the Blurt Blockchain and it's growing community.
Comments = Community

One more thought:
People don't care how much you know... until they know how much you care... and caring is all about how one comments... especially when commenting on the content people cared enough to write onto the blockchain.
Engage !🥓
Surely it will affect the NFT marketplace, especially those NFTs that had very limited use cases. I don't know, I have never bought an NFT before. Why? I always thought it has some value but NFTs were there before 2020 and if you think, this comment is an NFT as well. I own it and nobody can claim otherwise. I own so many now that I don't felt the need to buy a 10x10px image.
Exactly, not only the NFT market but now AI generated artwork is winning prices in art competitions as well. What a time to be alive!
Sorry for the rant but the NFT market was blown so out of proportion that it felt risky to go in. Thanks for the comment and support. I highly appreciate it.
This is something I haven't thought about actually... but your right! Our comments can be uniquely identified as ours and therefore could be considered to have value much like an NFT has value! I would even argue that a comment might have more value than most NFT artworks... but I guess that could be debatable.
We do live in interesting times! I think this AI art is interesting (especially if it is made into an NFT) because now computers are directly competing with humans!
What a time to be alive indeed!
