Yes, I understand the value people give to NFTs in general, and blockchain tech (even though I disagree). I was referring to this use-case in particular, what value does it give us to buy one of the images you generate? Are the images generated by the system or do users upload their own? Either way, how does blockchain and NFTs give value here? I fail to understand this. Why would I not just store this image in my hard-drive or in the cloud?

I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I really don't like this trend... I feel it's very toxic, almost a scam, and taking advantage of people that don't know better... So please give me a valid reason to use this

PD: I want to make it clear that I'm not discrediting your work or saying you are a scammer. But NFTs and so on have a bad reputation lately for good reasons.

It is a way to have HD image even tho image can be stored very close to a pixel art in size and anyone can upload their own image that they have on their computer to post it on blokchchain which as they are replicated states of blocks with consensus they provide technically very robust systems against censorship, natural disaster, nuclear war, solar eruption damaging IT systems, time-based deletion (the cryptography works in a way it only can with 100.00% data integrity in most blockchain) and most blockchain are composed of hundreds of node fully replicating other state of itself which also means you can fight extremist countries and terrorist squad deleting fair journalism media... this is the value blockchain enhance to the media file, also, meanwhile :

The scam is something that can happens when you do not restrict a system, here we will not verify if the user use images that doesn't negate the right of another person.
