Yeah...NFTs were stupid AF.
I was thinking about NFTs yesterday and how AIs have probably scrapped them all and will happily copy all the monkeys and such.
Think I could sell AI generated NFTs?
Eh. Use an AI to make smaller AI models that have different combinations of personalities (this one acts like Elvis singing opera, this one mimics Einstein with a cowboy accent) and the create NFTs for the ownership of those personalities. Each one comes with it's own bot-created twitter account, and it posts. The holder of the NFT gets any revenue the account generates.
Anyway, if you build this, send me a cut, I'd like to get rich from stupid people who would actually go nuts over this.
If you were this stupid and had a billion dollars and funded this idea then you would surely become a millionaire.
Isn't that exactly what Donald Trump did with his electronic trading cards or whatever they were supposed to be?
Yes! I forgot about that. Too much interesting times to remember it all.
I am sure someone would buy it

It's funny, when NFT's started I said it was the dumbest thing ever and everyone online jumped all over me and down voted me into oblivion.
I think digitally verifiable ownership could be cool for, like, a digital TCG or something. But you'd need an actual use case for why this 'ownership' matters, which just isn't true of the most noteworthy use of nfts.
I've never understood TCGs. Why not just print out the cards. Why not to use a randomizer to from which one should make up a deck for one duel. If the fun gambling and consumerism?
what you describe is called using "proxies" and different houses have different rules.
The store where I play allows for 10 proxies per deck. In the olden days they'd take a finger for every proxy but now they just take a finger nail.
I mean, yes, gambling is part of the fun XD
I don't actually think gambling is the problem, capitalism is. A healthy amount of low-stakes risk taking is a perfectly good activity.
The dangers of using reddit
See, you forgot the important rule of the Internet: Being first is the same as being wrong.

I still hold an "NFT". A tank i won on a challenge in War thunder. Grinding motherfuckers, but... it was a nice tank
"How's the timeshare doing, dad?"
My uncle used to go to timeshare sales pitches 2-3 times a week. Never bought a timeshare, just went for the free dinners. He was so bored with life that he didn't even mind sitting there listening to them babble. The only other thing he had to do was to call up my dad and discuss how gas prices were slightly different at different filling stations.
A free supper is a free supper.
"At least I can be inside something that I enjoy"
At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don't even deliver on their sole mission statement

Kinda curious what my parents think the dumbest thing I ever did is
Well, who raised that idiot?
At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.
Its the first step in therapy.
Blame parents, forgive parents, realize you now control your future, realize youve controlled your actions and future the entire time, forgive yourself.
Most people are hovering step 1 and 2, or skip over step 2
I think you can kind of fork this path:
- blame parents
- realise they did what they thought was best
- still be messed up
- wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
- accept your mediocrity

My parents did a lot to model being smart with money and only one of their kids (me) picked up on it. Kids often love being the opposite of what they're taught, no matter how much it hurts them.
IDK how much parents "modelling" things really helps.
My parents fell for every scheme they encountered their entire lives.
Watching them taught me to be very critical of that kind of thing. I guess they did model what not to do.
Heh, I mean modeling can work in the intended way or by accident in the opposite way you'd expect. So yeah I'd say it worked for you :)

The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.
It's not a specific dollar amount like 10 dollars.
It should be pointed out that if you are young and you took an appropriate amount of risk "investing" in nfts, that's not a bad thing. You should take some financial risks and failures while young.
If you went into debt or spent your family's life savings on it, you have a gambling problem.
