Botto

Botto is an AI-driven artist that produces artworks through a combination of algorithms. His works are quite remarkable and can stir up emotions similar to those created by human artists. His first six art pieces have been sold in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for a total of $1.3 million already, with his most sought-after painting, Scene Precede, fetching up to $430,000.

The AI uses VQGAN, a vast database of images, to train its art style and generate art from words. CLIP, a software, helps to refine the results generated by VQGAN and also decides the two words that make up the title of the painting. Finally, GPT-3 provides a poetic description of the painting.

Every day, the AI creates 300 artworks, out of which 350 are selected on a weekly basis by a module that is continuously learning human tastes and the most voted one is sold as an NFT. To purchase Botto's works, one has to exchange Ethereum for Botto's cryptocurrency, BOTTO, which is rising in price due to its success.
