AI GENERATED NFT
Have you ever thought of tokenizing the brand with customized and replicated NFT in the midst of an ever-evolving digitalization?
Instead of curating each NFT with a unique look, NFT brands are using AI to generate their own NFT collections. Powered by generative adversarial networks (GANs), a generator produces new images and a discriminator guesses which ones are fake.

By analyzing the ingredients of 82,000 recipes online, AI Rice Cracker was able to combine all the addictive ingredients to create this unique flavor profile. In the future, we can use AI to create even more flavor profiles like "most romantic", "most Gen-Z" and more.
