NFTS have become something of a status symbol for the rich and famous, but now you can create your own.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club collection is one you’ve probably seen quite a bit, with artists like Justin Bieber, Madonna and Neymar paying hundreds of thousands for their own virtual image.

Now a computer geek has created an AI system that humans can use to create one themselves.
And they’re pretty convincing.
But what’s even smarter is that the AI can turn any picture into a monkey-like NFT – including a selfie.
Yannic Kilcher, who is behind the project, says they are completely unique and interchangeable.
Unfortunately, there is a small catch.
You can’t just generate them online because the system is too heavy, requiring your own specialized electronic circuit – aka GPU – to create one based on your probability.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t create your own random bored monkey.
Kilcher has also created a website that creates a unique one for you every time.
“Every time you click on it, you get a newly produced monkey — that monkey is being produced right now,” he said.
“The same monkey has never been produced before and will never be produced after.
“So this is all yours. And it’s absolutely interchangeable.
“I’m not going to coin these things as NFTs or anything like that. Just download it.”
