I cant do that with the physical Mona Lisa. I agree the art world is stupid, but using that as a justification for NFTs is also, exactly if not more stupid

It doesn't really matter if it's exact or not. People know that some NFT that cost $$$ can be copied, they don't care.

I don't think he meant is as a justification, just that the phenomenon is similar.
