update: so the AI slopster is Gerez herself. She pulled the same scam at Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in 2024 — get accepted with real paintings, then fill the booth with AI slop. C2E2 also has a rule against AI art, but nobody threw her out that time. Now I’m honestly surprised I can’t find Gerez getting into NFTs.
