"this identity does not exist" (tidne) is a series created in january 2022 of collectible nfts based on nvidia project allowing to generate images of people who never existed.
buying an nft from this collection is equivalent to obtaining the copyright of a digital identity and the corresponding image, which can be downloaded in hd.
once the copyright is obtained, you can legally use that image anywhere, from any social profile to the metaverse, because holds the copyright.
the goal of the project is to reach 1000 different collectible nfts by the end of 2022.
every single nft has been created by using a special kind of artificial intelligence algorithm called "generative adversarial networks" (gans).
the underlying code that made this possible, titled stylegan, was written by nvidia.
at their core, gans consist of two networks: the generator and discriminator. these computer programs compete against each other millions-upon-millions
of times to refine their image generating skills until they’re good enough to create full-fledged unique pictures.
