Turn Collectors into Users: Please Watch!

I used the image remixing app called SOURCE today to become a user of @evanmann.lens

The app uses your wallet as if it were cloud storage. You can load in any Ethereum NFT and remix it in the app. I used one of his photos as the source material, applied AI to generate a new image in that style, and now my creation is provably linked to his along with the owner of the AI model.

So I’ve collected Evan’s data, used it in an app, and that app shows I’ve used his data and the AI model’s data. I’m measurably a User of Evan’s data. That was an abstract concept before, and now it’s efficiently provable and measurable.

Artists who aim for gaining Users will attract more collaborators, more attention, more relevance, and more value.

It’s not a coincidence I’m about to have more Collectors than Followers. I’m aiming to create Users.
