How to play

1. People post images in comments and add an answer for each one

2. Other people vote on images by hearting/grinching comments

3. Other people buy shares in images they think will get a high score

4. In the end, we calculate the scores independently for each market

5. Each individual entry (i.e. one image+comment) will have its own score, based on what happens below.

How to play

1. Create an image

2. Make up a name for it

3. Post an answer for it, like "<Title of the image> - <Your name>"

4. Then reply to the image if you'd like, that way that answer is linked to your comment

5. In the reply comment, paste in the image, and add the title, so people can connect to it!

How to play - voting

1. Vote by adding a heart to the comment of the image

2. Also if you think an image is good, buy shares in it

3. You can also add a "Grinch comment" where you post a 😠 in reply to an image. But you can only add one of them for every image you upload, and also for every one you post, all of your images get a -1% score. If you have too many grinch comments I'll hide the later ones.

Scoring:

Add together your subscore in each category to get your final score. Then change the "points" to "percent". If your final score is >100, it resolves to 100%.

To create AI art:

• This is a free version of dalle-3 which is free: https://www.bing.com/images/create

• you can pay 20$/month and use chatGPT or dalle-3 (better, 2 images at once) on openai's website: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-2fkFE8rbu-dall-e

• you can join midjourney which is pretty great too, and that's cheap, via discord! In a lot of ways this is the best one; way faster, unlimited, much less censorship. But, it's a bit less accurate in composition than the others.
