> You can produce a copy of Picasso that is indistinguishable from an original.
I can't, but will happily pay anyone that can considerably more than the Ethereum gas fees involved in minting an NFT copy of something.

"own a museum quality reproduction of a great master’s painting that is indistinguishable from the original"
It'll look better on my wall though, which is why I'd consider commissioning it.
For related reasons, I suspect that whilst more people would flock to see the actual Sistine Chapel ceiling than one I commissioned for my living room, I'd still have an easier time wowing people with the living room artwork than a NFT with a gif, even if it was countersigned by the Vatican
It's almost like the important bit of the provenance for appreciation is in having the actual physical original the actual artist worked on, not a certificate saying you sent some money to someone on an aftermarket and exactly the same gif everybody else has
For example, consider a baseball or other trading card. Can be easily replicated/printed - yet certified authentic cards have value much more value. Why?
