Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

    They weren’t even AI generated. Is there a AI generated at least they’d be unique from each other, there were a series of randomly lead images. It wasn’t AI that made them, it was basically just a bunch of if statements.

    AI generated NFTs would also be pointless because anyone could get them or something very similar by giving the same prompt to an AI but at least they’d have some merit, at least they would be interesting.

        I mean, at a certain point, everything in computers comes down to getting stuff from memory and running a bunch of if statements on it.

      Yeah procedurally generated would be the correct description.

      But the end result is kinda the same, it’s a lot of similar images generated with little effort.

          Well theoretically AI may exist. We just don’t have it yet. Current image generators and LLM are called that but they ain’t it…

            How are they not intelligent? You are able to put in arbitrary prompts and its able to return an image constructed to your specifications. Seems you are being pedantic

              In my language the ability to abstract is part of the definition of intelligence and that’s something no current “AI” can do. To be considered intelligent the program would have to be able to derive solutions for previously unknown problems from it’s current knowledge only.

              There’s a distinction between intelligence and sentience.

              The stuff impressing people right now only has a tiny short term memory and no way of really transferring that short term memory to long term memory, so it’s definitely not something you can characterise as sentience.

              It is definitely intelligence, though, since it can draw from a very large pretrained set of knowledge with deep relational connections.
