This one is interesting. Does anything like this exist already?

3D generation AI exists in both open source and closed source worlds and ironically, my team worked on one (soon to be open sourced) as well. The point is, it is only a generative tool and nothing more. It can be a much better tool if people can use those assets in some sort of game or virtual world.

This is a good idea, and given your background it seems like one that you could pursue. Why not bootstrap over making it a token? You can make it a token though you might be discouraged if people do not pay any attention to it before an MVP, or without marketing (which commonly damages tokenomics of even the best of projects when trying to get marketing teams on board).

This is what I spent the most time on. People visiting Mann-E and our paid models, are begging for free credits. Generating using a free model (to give us the data enough for the knowledge distillation on top of GPT Image or Midjourney) can result in being rewarded. And this is the exact same thing those tap to earn games did. I happened to have a talk with a developer from an Iranian CEX who worked on a similar game and they said they haven't developed/minted the token since they hit a certain threshold on user's activity.

This can be a good plan, and even a new way of verification of the user's activity. We have a platform. The user logs in, generates images and gets rewarded for each image. The reward (aside from in-site credits) can be used to calculate the amount of tokens they win on the air drop. And since this can grab a lot of attention, investors may be interested as well.

This whole process needs another topic where we can discuss Generate to Earn and Proof of Generation as well.

Decentralizing gambling is long overdue. A lot of crypto gambling platforms are still centralized and causes massive issues on this forum (because it's harder to create a decentralized bitcoin game with a user experience as good as a centralized platform). This is a good idea, if the focus is decentralization.

Based on what I've heard about bet platforms from my friends, reddit and messages on this forum, I guess I leave this one behind. Maybe someone else has the audacity to do that.

DAOs already do this. More recent and evolved ones have eliminated a lot of the attack vectors as well. DAOs are progressing how entities are governed.

I am familiar with DAO's, but I couldn't understand how a DAO is formed and how people can join it. I saw a youtube video where the person was explaining it is as easy as creating an NFT and just give special permissions to holders of that particular NFT on Discord or Telegram. And interestingly I found TON Vote while doing research on the topic of decentralized voting systems on TON ecosystem. But still, I don't really have any knowledge on how DAO's work, how to start one or something like that.

These kinds of websites exist, like BitRefill. With RWA (Real-world asset) Tokenization as well, other assets will be available to trade with Bitcoin and crypto in the near future too.

I personally encountered CoinGate and Lasso Finance and both are on ETH ecosystem. They really grabbed my attention, because they made buying Apple gift cards easy for me, they made it easy to charge my fal AI subscription and even get OpenAI premium subscription. Basically this can be a tool of freedom.

Anyway, a new idea sparked in my head, and I have to talk to a friend before just explaining it here Grin

Jokes aside, I'm in the process of making it a well-crafted idea with the help of someone who has the legal knowledge for that kind of business.

Not a bad idea to have transactions on-chain...though probably not good to put the images/content of the people making life mistakes (my opinion) by using that platform to begin with.

Well, the only point a crypto based OF has is that it keeps the bank history of two parties (the creator and the consumer) clean of any controversial transaction history.
