A digital artist, Robbie Barrat handed out NFT coupons four years ago, which some recipients threw away.Barrat however does not plan to continue selling his work through the NFT market.
As part of the presentation, he gifted the crowd 300 cards, each with a code that gave them rights to a digital artwork he had created using artificial intelligence. The method is known as"generative adversarial networks" : two neural networks that compete with each other using algorithms. "I was telling everybody from the stage: 'This is the future. Don't throw this card away.'" Bailey recalled with a smile.
Barrat continues to experiment with AI, but says he no longer intends to sell work through the NFT market.
