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 the likes of Justin Bieber, Madonna and Neymar who have paid hundreds of thousands for their own virtual image.

Now a computer geek has developed an AI system that allows people to generate one for themselves.
And they’re pretty convincing.
But what’s more clever, is that the AI can turn any image into an Ape-like NFT – including a selfie.
Yannic Kilcher, who’s behind the project, says they are completely unique and fungible.
Unfortunately there’s a slight catch though.
You can’t just generate them online as the system is too heavy, so you’ll need your own specialised electronic circuit – aka a GPU – to do one based on your likeliness.
That doesn’t mean you can’t create your own random Bored Ape though.
Kilcher has also created a site that produces a unique one every single time for you.

“Every time you click you get a new produced ape – this ape is produced in this instant,” he said.
“The same ape has never been produced before and will never be produced after.
“So this is fully yours. And it’s absolutely fungible.
“I’m not going to mint these things as NFTs or anything like this. Just download it.”
