Here's what you need to know so you don't get caught up in this upcoming wave of cash grabs coming in the next few weeks Unstructured thread (1/x?) might piss ppl off but fuck it who cares...
You should know... There's an AI art generation tool that is becoming very popular called @midjourney - its an incredible tool and open to pretty much anyone and allows you to create thousands of variations of art of 1 subject with just some tweaks to simple text prompts.
That was primer for these pictures attached. All 4 of these "projects" are essentially extremely easy to generate variations on text prompts. @Midjourney allows you to type in "cute owl in the moon, sparkling" and it will make you 100s of these pic in like a few hours.
People are not aware of how SIMPLE this is - NOT accusing them of scamming (putting aside how they could possibly take pictures and prompts from others and slightly remix them.. example below of the midjourney public feed that you can essentially remake and call yours)
Again, not accusing a scam (even if they might be) - but don't read this BS on a website and get charmed and swindled by these upcoming projects... for literally like 10 bucks for a month of access you make all this shit yourself in like half a day LMAO
A lot of people don't understand where things are going This is nuanced convo... this meta is of cash grab AI art projects - but this doesn't mean AI art is a scam.. they This is nuanced convo... this meta is of cash grab AI art projects - but this doesn't mean AI art is a scam.. they are just relying on people not understanding how easy it is to get cash out of you..

Even for a small mint price, these projects would make thousands of dollars and will 100% leave you in the dust and keep doing this

Just means that over time - AI art will get so good that the judging criteria of its worth in a society will move from pure aesthetics to creativity (prompt creativity/remixing/merging of tools)
And this is why I specifically said garbage mint meta... not scam mints - because YOU as someone who is trading NFTs and buying art need to be educated on the fact that it is now incredibly easy to spin up gen art projects that look like high quality works but in reality -
these types of projects in particular - Are just a mix of a few sentences, maybe a few images for inspiration, a whole lot of clicking "variations" and "upscales" and in maybe a day of work you have an entire project ready to go and suck liquidity out of you
Next time you come across a project like these - ask the following questions. 1 - What AI tools were used to generate this? 2 - What was the prompt? Is the team willing to share the prompt publicly? 3 - What were the source images of inspiration that was remixed if any?
4 - Is there a mix of tools? Any actual human input to enhance the art on photoshop? 5 - If you go on the MidJourney discord, will you find an extremely similar post from someone else that was reran?
There is a wave coming in the next 2 years of almost near perfect artwork with some crazy algos - check out #DiscoDiffusion #midjourney #stablediffusion hashtags to see how scary good its getting.
