TL;DR
-
Find Satoshi Lab (FSL) just rolled out an AI-powered NFT generator called GNT V3. The idea is: you take a selfie → the AI renders it as a digital illustration → it gets punched as an NFT.
-
Is it cool? Absolute! Is it necessary? No (storing your selfies in an immutable database that will most likely beat humanity, it ah… it feels a bit over the top).
-
That said: the Lensa AI trend was all over Instagram late last year! So what’s to say this can’t be the Web3 version of that?
Full story
This feels… stupid.
Find Satoshi Lab (FSL) just rolled out an AI-powered NFT generator called GNT V3.
The idea is: you take a selfie → the AI renders it as a digital illustration → it’s punched like an NFT.
Which to us is like selling an armored Toyota Corolla to someone just looking for good gas mileage.
(We’ve got a real “car analogy” tip today, huh?).
Is it cool? Absolute!
Is it necessary? No (storing your selfies in an immutable database that will most likely beat humanity, it ah… it feels a bit over the top).
FSL calls the NFT generator “pushing the boundaries of digital self-expression”.
… but Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, etc are already solid platforms for digital self-expression – we’re not sure whether adding NFT selfies to the mix will move the needle for consumers or Web3.
Or maybe we’re just sourpusses?
In that case, let’s balance things out by going against our own conclusions:
Any technology that allows users to easily create/launch NFTs is a good thing in our minds (whether the NFTs represent art, community access, loyalty rewards – whatever).
And hell, that Lensa AI trend was all over Instagram late last year! Which means this can’t be the Web3 version of that?
Either way, any consumer-friendly Web3 application is a step in the right direction right now.
