“Artists in the new dawn: A Web3 Symphony”
Yo, it’s Slim Shady, I’m back on the mic
Got a story to tell, it’s about the future, it’s tight
Heard a TEDx Talk, it was all about tech
Web3, AI, it’s a whole new deck
Blockchain, NFTs, changing the game
Artists making money, ain’t no shame
No middleman, just the artist and the fan
Direct connection across the whole land
Generative AI, creating new beats
Art that’s alive, it’s no small feat
Artists and machines together they blend
Creating masterpieces, the creativity never ends.
Future tech for artists, it’s a new dawn
Web3, AI, the old ways are gone.
TEDx got me thinking, got my mind in a whirl
Welcome to the future, it’s a whole new world.
Artists in control, they got the power
No need for galleries, it’s their finest hour.
Selling their work on the blockchain,
making real money, feeling no pain.
AI creating, it’s a sight to behold
Art that’s new, art that’s bold
Generative models, creating new forms
Art that’s different, art that transforms.
Future tech for artists is the new day
Web3, AI leading the way
TEDx opened my eyes, the future is so bright
Art and tech together is a beautiful sight
Artists breaking chains, they’re breaking free
Web3, AI, is a new degree
No more gatekeepers, no more walls
Artists standing tall, they’re making the calls
Generative AI is the new frontier
creating art that’s real, that’s clear
Artists and machines is the new alliance
In the face of adversity, they’re showing defiance
Future tech for artists isn’t a phase
Web3, AI, is setting the place
TEDx got me inspired, got me thinking right,
Art and tech together is a powerful sight.
