I found this to be very interesting about Ai & You might too

By archangeltara

This is why I put my signature somewhere on my Ai digital images, since we can't add a watermark and you might want to too. The most expensive AI-generated artwork sold to date is "AI God: Portrait of Alan Turing" by the humanoid robot Ai-Da, which fetched $1,084,800 at Sotheby's in November 2024, significantly exceeding its $120,000–$180,000 estimate. This sale marks the first time a painting by a humanoid robot has been sold at auction, establishing a new benchmark for robot-created art. Other notable high-value AI art sales include: "Portrait of Edmond de Belamy" by the collective Obvious, which sold for $432,500 at Christie's in October 2018, the first AI artwork to break the half-million dollar mark. Refik Anadol's "Machine Hallucinations—Space: Metaverse" collection, which achieved a record $5 million at Sotheby's Hong Kong. Botto, a decentralized autonomous artist, has amassed over $5 million in total sales since 2021, with a recent Sotheby's exhibition generating $350,000. "Sophia Instantiation", a collaboration between artist Andrea Bonaceto and Sophia the Robot, sold as an NFT for $688,888. While some AI art pieces have commanded millions, the market also includes works valued significantly lower, such as Mario Klingemann's "Memories of Passersby I", which sold for approximately $51,000 at Sotheby's in 2019. The valuation of AI art often depends on the artist's reputation, the novelty of the technology, and the specific auction house, with recent sales indicating a growing acceptance of AI-generated pieces in the global art market.

I think it is really amazing what our world has come to when it comes to the computer and making money. I love he images I have created and some really do look like paintings which is just wild. Some people are making black and white ones adding them to a coloring book to sell. Have you heard of Diamond art? Check it out on Amazon if you have the time. They are printed images and you glue each diamond bead to create and color the image. I think ALL our artwork could be sold on there for people to buy and do. Also there are Latch Hook rugs our images would be awesome for this too

I heard of a kid in England who build up a sticker selling business that makes 10's of thousands of $ or pounds per month, and that was before AI too, chances are these markets will take off like nothing before, just got to find one's niche I guess. These kind of smaller crafts really can go a long way. Personally, I haven't done anything like Diamond art myself, but it looks fun.

Please keep us posted on how your efforts go. I'm skeptical because AI has so commoditized art that I suspect these deals you mention are the exceptions. When King implements groups (like we have for QTs, but better organized), you should consider forming a business group to pool ideas and efforts to see if there's any actual earning potential beyond just selling your art on places like etsy. Good luck!

I think so too, I have done Latch Hook kits those are a lot of fun. I was even thinking we could put our images in books to sell. I think that would be really cool.

That's a cool idea, though I personally don't have that many images I think people would be interested in buying, would be really cool though to monetize this ofc

Kinda crazy that anyone would buy AI art.
