Flesh emoji NFTs: When four trends collide
Ugh. Somebody stop this. We’re mixing and matching trends, and it isn’t pretty. Behold: Flesh emojis for sale. This horrible turn of events on Twitter is the result of four trends combined:
Emojis
Artificial intelligence that gives cartoonish emojis human-like skin
NFTs
AI that animates still photos

This seems to be part of a trend where people force themselves to make “art every day.”

A series of emoji fed through a neural network designed to turn sketches of people into photorealistic images. I had no idea this would work. I think I hate them.
