Ahh, “Sold Out.” The NFTs must have flown off the shelves.

@MeidasTouch the samples I saw, looks like at least some work went into them, and there's no 'bored ape' layering trick to easily generate many combinations.

So how did they generate so many?
Re-skin 'bored ape' but with worse hair? 1000s of runs of AI image generator? Or just plain old scam of reselling the same image?

I'm sure we'll find out soon, but place your bets, what does the actual 'product' look like:

Bored ape + worse hair
11.1%
AI generated shlock
11.1%
Just resell the same image, grifters gonna grift
33.3%
Two or three of the above
44.4%

@notthatgreg @MeidasTouch Apparently the majority of them are based on stolen art they retouched. I said when I saw them "95% chance they're using stolen art" and apparently my 5% leeway was too much. It was 100% the case.
