You don't own the actual image since that would be too big for the block chain. You only "own" a URL that points to the image. The host can delete that URL or change the picture behind it any time they want.

Exactly, you can copy the image all you like, but an nft is not an image

It's also not proof of ownership of the image. Am I missing something? It's the url, you own a URL, not a funky monkey.

since most of it is AI generated you don't own shit anyway, because copyright law only applies to human created art.

and anyway you didn't own an URL, since that could break and not point to anything after a while, at best you owned a receipt of look how much I paid for something one time.

The monkeys are AI generated? And here I thought they were generated by a script written by a human running some combinatorics logic. Or are we calling that script "AI" now?
