I maintain this list for my own research purposes, documenting AI projects on Ethereum prior to the mainstreaming of AI art tools in April 2022, focusing on "projects" or "collections" with a minimum scale/supply and thematic/aesthetic cohesion because it would be impossible to track down all 1/1s and smaller collections (which is why I include the supply along with the date) and updating the list as I become aware of projects I missed. I decide what to include using a combination of specific criteria and common sense that not all will agree with, but I do my best and make no claim that the list is complete. ---First row is "AI Generated Nude Portraits" by Robbie Barrat (SuperRare, April 2018, Included for historical context.)
