> Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview.

So DALL·E 2 is going to restart, revive and cause another renaissance of fully automated and mass generated NFTs, full of derivatives and remixing etc to pump up the crypto NFT hype squad?

Either way, OpenAI wins again as these crypto companies are going to pour tens of thousands of generated images to pump their NFT griftopia off of life support, reconfirming that it isn't going to die that easily.

Regardless of this possible revival attempt, 90% of these JPEG NFTs will eventually still die.

I don't see why there's any credible reason to expect that DALL-E will do anything at all to help those promoting the NFT silliness. Two separate issues.

If OpenAI could make a profit selling Dall-E images as NFT, I'd assume they'd do it, yeah?

Altman tried his hand at that by launching Worldcoin, and it didn't go well at all.

So I think it's prudent that OpenAI keep the 'sell shovels' business model instead with DALLE and GPT, at least for the time being.

I have tried playing around with the beta access to make it generate NFT art with different prompts, but in vail.

I think it has not been trained on NFT art (crypto punks and so on).

How exactly are you defining NFT art?

I mean, it can literately be anything: Dorsey sold a screencap of his 1st tweet, Nadya from Pussy Riot did some creative stuff, and the Ape crap was the bulk of this stuff that got passed around.

I think what can be gleaned from that short-lived non-sense is that value is subjective and that the quality of a valuabe piece of 'art' is equally as hard to define. Much the same with its predecessor: cryptokitties.

Heads up: I think you meant "in vain" rather than "in vail". However, a similar phrase is "to no avail" which also means that something was not successful.

I think you meant "in vain" rather than "in vein".

I sure did! Thank you, I've corrected that now.
