The art that'll actually move the needle? It's gotta be temporary.
AI cranks out any visual you can imagine now. The quality? Getting scary good. Whether you like it or not, that's crushing traditional art's value. Nobody can tell what's authentic anymore without digging deep.
So here's the thing—permanence lost its premium. When anyone can generate museum-quality pieces in seconds, scarcity isn't about the object anymore. It's about the moment. The experience. The fleeting nature of it.
That's where the real value migrates.

ngl this logic is backwards, fleeting things are actually more easily forgotten

ngl this logic is a bit convoluted, but it really hits the mark... With AI-generated images being so ridiculous, who still cares about that piece of paper itself?
I've heard the whole "experience is valuable" thing too many times, but when it comes to actual trading, it still depends on whether it can be cashed out.
Temporary art? Sounds like an excuse for AI-generated images, haha.

ngl this logic is kind of wild... Temporary art actually becomes a scarce commodity?
If you put it nicely, it’s called the experience economy; if you put it bluntly, isn’t it just impermanence as a selling point? Haha
The whole AI-generated art thing really needs some reflection. The idea that permanence is being devalued sounds pretty ironic.
Kind of ridiculous... Are you saying that fleeting things are actually more expensive now?
Scarce moments > scarce objects, this line of thinking is kind of addictive, but that’s exactly what web3 buys into.
Just realized—permanent = cheap? That twist caught me off guard.
You’re right, but who’s going to verify the authenticity of this moment? Isn’t it still up to centralized institutions?
Feels like just another variant of NFTs... Just dressed up as philosophy.
Temporary art = can’t hold it, right? For most people, there’s no real selling point there.

Damn, this logic is wild... Instant value actually becomes more expensive?

To be honest, no matter how good AI-generated content looks, it's just so-so. Saying it's permanently invalid is really just a way of comforting ourselves... Is the real value in limited-time experiences? That feels kind of hollow.

Permanent art has indeed declined; experiential sensations are now the new scarce commodity.

ngl this logic is kind of flipped, temporary things have actually become scarce?
AI-generated art is nothing new, but the real value lies in its "ephemeral" nature... interesting.
Permanent devaluation, instant appreciation—this has actually already been played out in Web3.
