What compelling reasons are there for people to fork out 40K for AI-generated art portraits that vanish after they're created?

AI-generated art portraits can cost anywhere from $500 to $40,000, depending on the complexity of the algorithm and the artist's reputation.

Artists who create their own AI algorithms own the rights to those algorithms, which can be sold as a work of art.

One AI portrait generator, ImagineMe, can create Warhammer portraits in just a second, and the resulting images can be used for various purposes.

The pricing of AI art is often "quite aggressive" to help establish AI art as a genre, according to Aparajita Jain, codirector of Nature Morte.

Creative AI can allow some artists greater time and energy to explore artistic avenues, producing not just more art but potentially better art.

AI art won't eliminate artists, as it can assist in the creative process and free up time for human artists to explore new ideas.

The use of AI in creating Warhammer art is gaining popularity, with users discussing how to generate AI art that resembles Warhammer canon on Reddit.

AI-generated art can be used for various purposes, including social media profile pictures, gaming avatars, and even self-published books and logos.

The growth of AI in making art won't eliminate artists, but rather provide new tools and opportunities for creative exploration.

The emergence of AI image generators has stirred controversy over whether art generated by artificial intelligence should be considered "real" art.

AI art can be created using open-source resources, but artists who create their own algorithms own the rights to those algorithms.

AI-generated art portraits can disappear after creation, making the concept of ownership and compensation for human artists more complex.
