So I looked up FXhash and from what I gathered, people write a function to generate an image, and then it gets run with some random inputs so you get a bunch of similar but slightly different images out.

To call this an “absolutely groundbreaking achievement in digital art that just wasn’t possible before.” is comically absurd.

Sure, then show me an open market where this was being done before at scale ?

Why does it have to be a market. Why does everything have to be about turning a profit. If you want computer generated art, I could show a billion examples. I could write my own function to generate a picture with no crypto technology.

If your argument boils down to “show me how people made lots of money on it”, then that is just confirming what I already believe. No substance, just profiting on hype.

Sure thing Gigachad. Those darn artists are just making too much damn money! They should all live off the socialist UBI we’re so close to implementing right? Or maybe they should just live in poverty and not complain so much?

Just all these darn artists making money! How many artists salaries have you paid off this month with your salary Gigachad?
