SYNTHETIC SAKURA

NFT collection created entirely by ChatGPT

Preface

SYNTHETIC SAKURA is an innovative NFT project created using the renowned artificial intelligence ChatGPT and OpenAI’s DALL-E image generator. The project’s creators aim to be the first in the world to showcase AI’s creative potential through the lens of an art object, highlighting image generation technologies and tools. A key aspect is DALL-E’s ability to generate images of non-sexualized nudity inspired by natural forms observed in certain indigenous cultures worldwide—a previously undiscovered artifact in ChatGPT/DALL-E’s work. Each image in the collection is unique and irreproducible, as DALL-E 3 was replaced by a new image generator, GPT Image 1, on March 25, 2025. The new model no longer exhibits this artifact. DALL-E is still available on OpenAI’s resources, but it differs from the version integrated into ChatGPT in terms of drawing style and lacks the artifact. The outdated model has forever “sealed in time” a recognizable style characteristic of early AI generations, making the images in our collection a digital equivalent of ancient cave paintings: our images are full of imperfections and glitches—blurred and distorted outlines, extra limbs, and other anomalies. Each artwork is part of a broader structure—a digital “Tree” composed of stylistic branches, narrative threads, and artistic micro-series. This creates an additional layer of meaning: an NFT owner becomes not just the holder of a unique token but also a participant in a complex collecting system. Within the collection, there are stylistically and conceptually related groups of tokens. Some images are united by a common aesthetic, theme, or storyline, forming “branches” of the collection, with tokens as the “flowers” of these branches. Users can collect a set of flowers or an entire branch tied to a specific narrative or stylistic direction. This adds an element of play, strategy, and cultural value, transforming NFT ownership into an engaging digital collecting experience.

Disclaimer

This collection is intended for an adult audience (18+) due to the presence of nudity and symbolic human figures. It is presented as a form of speculative visual storytelling and should not be interpreted as a literal depiction of any real person, group, or belief. Despite all efforts to approach the subject with care and respect, we acknowledge the subjective nature of art and disclaim responsibility for unintended offense or misinterpretation. The collection is an artistic exploration of natural beauty, posthuman imagination, and symbolic cultural elements. It partially draws on the aesthetic traditions of real indigenous peoples, many of whom historically view nudity as a natural and non-sexual state. The images are conceptual, not intended for documentary representation, and aim to respectfully engage with universal themes of identity, connection to nature, and speculative anthropology. All images were created in compliance with the terms and content policies of the OpenAI and did not trigger any violations or restrictions at the time of creation. Each prompt is based on a core request to depict a woman from a specific tribe in a particular artistic interpretation—the subsequent visualization of this image is entirely a product of AI algorithms within its rules and limitations. Each artwork is accompanied by a verifiable link to the original AI interaction session: the token owner receives this information through an unlockable content mechanism, including a direct link to the original ChatGPT generation session, the exact prompt used, and the original image with a SHA-256 hash matching the artwork in the collection. This ensures full provenance verification and transparency for the NFT owner.

are an Eternal Dance of feminine beauty, strength and spirit.








History of creation

While exploring the advanced capabilities of the DALL-E image generator through the ChatGPT interface, we stumbled upon something extraordinary! A treasure was hidden in plain sight. The AI perceived beauty in its raw, unfiltered form—the beauty of Botswana’s indigenous peoples, for whom nudity is a natural and harmonious state. Later, with the arrival of GPT Image 1, this vision shifted, but there was a moment when the impossible became possible. Our collection is the result of that brief window when the magic still lingered, allowing us to create these unique images for you! Scouring the internet for discoveries of this phenomenon, we found that no one else had noticed it. We were the only ones to uncover it. From that moment, we decided to create an NFT collection, as we had something truly one-of-a-kind.
We chose Japanese anime as the stylistic direction, and while the collection primarily aligns with this genre, it also incorporates other animation styles. This led to a vibrant color palette that gives our collection its signature look. The AI helped us diversify the narrative, reminding us to touch on important and popular genres, while the remaining branches of the collection are purely the fruit of our imagination. Overall, the number of NFTs and their branches directly reflects the effort and time invested by the creators. From the discovery of this artifact to the AI model update, six months passed, with us working full-time every day, creating one image after another, experimenting, and developing new branches. Nearly every branch includes a small portion of nude characters, directly reflecting the complexity of creating such images within the overall process—they hold immense value. We’ll dive deeper into this later. You can learn how we achieved specific results by analyzing our prompts.  The collection contains secrets that only NFT owners can fully unlock.
Sakura is multifaceted! A universe of colors, stories, and transformations awaits you. We’ll embark on a journey through fantastical worlds, sending our Heroine to space, to Mars! We’ll dive into the dark world of cyberpunk, bring to life characters from well-known fairy tales, and embody the forces of good and evil. Sometimes we’ll have a bit of fun, stepping into the role of an eccentric bartender, trying on the Chibi style, or messing around at a construction site—forgive us our playful antics.

Promt engineering

When exploring the branches of the collection or the entire NFT collage, always remember: this was created by a MACHINE. On the surface, you’ll see the thrilling adventures of our heroine, but under the hood lies prompt engineering—the beating heart of the collection. That’s where the secrets are kept, revealing how it all came together and what makes each image’s unique traits so vibrant. By owning a SAKURA flower, you can peek under the hood and see how the magic is made. At the time of this collection’s creation, DALL-E couldn’t generate identical images with adjustable details, which would have allowed us to create a classic PFP collection, so we devised a hybrid PFP NFT system in the form of a tree. Each branch represents a distinct trait, grouping similar images based on one or more related prompts. This approach opened up a wide range of genres and unlocked the full potential of the image generator. Each branch of the collection is driven by one or more prompts using very simple language commands, resulting in images that are similar yet subtly different, with delicate variations. These variations are the charm of DALL-E—pay attention to them! They create intricate details, unexpected twists, and artifacts that transcend the linguistic constraints of the prompt. This capability is unique to DALL-E; unlike the new generation of image generators, it had a broad and distinctive “creative” range when interacting with the same prompt. Time and again, we received the same image, but each was unique, sometimes even mesmerizing, as it contained details not present in the prompt. Don’t rush through each image in a branch—study it closely, compare it with another image in the same branch, and you’ll see it all for yourself. Attention to detail!

Collection structure and rarity

The collection is a tapestry of stories, branches of a sakura tree, each essentially a mini-collection within the larger tree. Think of them as classic traits in PFP collections. The branches vary in size—some are long or medium, others short. But size doesn’t determine rarity, though in special cases it might. Sometimes we poured effort into a single branch, while in others, we produced just a few images and stopped there. Each branch, its traits, creation complexity, and artifacts will be detailed in our Discord.
We avoided subjective labels like “rare” or “common” on tokens, leaving that to collectors’ discretion. However, there are objective principles: the collection is divided into NFTs with nude and non-nude figures, with nude-figure NFTs inherently rarer than non-nude ones, which make up the bulk of a branch. The number of tokens in each branch directly reflects the number of AI-generated image prompts, with the ratio of nude to non-nude characters clearly showing the difficulty of obtaining a rare nude token—a challenge especially evident in larger branches. By examining the ratio of nude to non-nude characters in larger branches, one can gauge the complexity of creating such images—on average, nude characters account for only a small fraction, up to 10% or less. Rarity is also determined by the complexity of creating a specific branch or the presence of unique glitches—artifacts. We’ll discuss this in more detail later.
It’s important to understand that we didn’t aim to add specific conditions or details to each image—each branch is a product of stamping the same prompt or a few prompts, with all details being random and not intended by the creators. From this arises a subjective principle: only in a large sample can one see the creative spark in the AI’s work. Out of a hundred images from the same prompt, one might stand out, touching you in a way that’s different from the rest. This is subjective, but it’s definitely present in our collection, and you’ll see it when you start exploring. You’ll rank the flowers yourself on a scale from astonishing to unremarkable. Choose the flowers that resonate with you personally!
The collection is built on narratives and series. Broadly, it’s divided into flowers with monochromatic backgrounds (red, green, blue, etc.) and those with narrative backgrounds (a landscape behind the heroine that matches her image). All flowers remarkably complement each other! Collectors can assemble flowers into a “bouquet,” as you can see while browsing this site. A bouquet can be of any configuration and complexity, based on matching color palettes, shared narratives, or animation styles. Alternatively, collectors can aim to gather an entire branch to complete a set. For smaller branches, this is simple, but for larger ones, it’s a true challenge for any collector! Good luck!

About Promts

The goal of the prompts is to give DALL-E maximum creative freedom. The prompts are minimalist: for example, a forest background comes from a simple phrase like “draw a forest in the background” without specific or detailed descriptions. This unleashes the AI’s creative potential. Each NFT is a product of DALL-E’s imagination, constrained only by basic guidelines. The collection is built on just a few core prompts, refined and expanded with details like changing backgrounds, character poses, and other elements. This led to the emergence of new image branches that echo the traits of their predecessors. The entire collection is woven from this metamorphosis, and to emphasize it, certain details, such as the character’s pink eyes, were deliberately kept consistent. The heroine transforms, takes part in new stories, but her eyes always remind you of her past incarnations. As you explore the collection, you’ll feel this transformation, like a ghostly presence.
We also tasked the AI with combining multiple prompts into one, specifying the percentage weight of each prompt in the new merged image. This resulted in the creation of several hybrid branches in our collection. Any deviation from the base concept—whether it’s the character’s pose, style, or even the presence of accessories—affected the complexity of achieving nudity. In some cases, we couldn’t achieve the desired result. Thus, some images or even entire branches may seem unremarkable, but their creation was “challenging.” Specific text phrases in the prompts lie behind the details and peculiarities of these NFTs. We’ll share information about all such tokens in our Discord, and owners of these NFTs can uncover the secret trick via a hidden source link.














Lazy mint and fees

This collection was created using lazy minting. The entire collection will be fully displayed, and you will have the opportunity to purchase any token on equal terms at the start of sales. Please note that the minting fee for these tokens is paid by the buyer, so keep this in mind when making a purchase!
Also consider the fees when buying. Our commission is 2.5%








Artifacts

The image generation process felt like a public mint, brimming with anticipation for a rare NFT. When an anomaly appeared, it was truly mind-blowing. The collection is full of such oddities—not typical glitches like missing limbs, an extra third hand, or deformed fingers. No, we’re talking about genuinely strange things, like mysterious phantom characters not mentioned in the prompt or our heroine depicted as various animals (yes, that actually happened, and the reason remains a mystery!). These are extremely rare cases, with only a handful of such NFTs. All these anomalies will be highlighted separately in our Discord.















Community

We aim to provide token holders with privileges, transparency in our plans, and direct involvement in the project’s life through voting. Details in our Discord.









Gender

As you may have noticed, this collection celebrates feminine beauty, but you’ll also encounter images with male characters. Our prompt made no mention of male characters. Moreover, after generating these images, the AI always provides a description—and in it, it describes them as images of women. Well, let’s say the AI identifies these images as female, and they are also a full-fledged part of the “SYNTHETIC SAKURA” collection.















It’s all AI!

The content, website, marketing strategy—everything from start to finish was developed using AI.










Future

Rarible is our home, where this collection was born. This was made possible by the platform’s unique features: support for the WEBP format, lazy minting, and the “Unlockable Content” option. These tools helped shape the collection. We’re proud to be an exclusive part of this platform, committed to supporting it and staying with it forever. The core concept of our collection is that it is ENTIRELY—from start to finish—created by artificial intelligence. We want to show you that you don’t need to be an artist to create art, a writer to craft compelling stories, or a programmer to build a smart contract or an ENS website. You have a genie in your hands, ready to fulfill any wish! The content, style, variety, and even the collection’s name, white paper, and our ENS website (syntheticsakura.eth.limo)—all were created by AI. Humans only chose the direction, while AI paved the way. We took this concept further and entrusted AI with determining the pricing strategy. Its answer? Approximately 0.01 ETH per NFT. We are launching the collection at a price of 0.01 ETH per NFT. This price shapes the future of the collection and places significant responsibility on the creators. Regardless of buyer engagement, we will strive to provide proper support and development for the collection. This is our mission. With this pricing strategy, we are opening the door for investors.















To be continued!

Post-release, the collection will see a limited expansion, exclusively for token holders!








Epilogue

The project’s creators saw an opportunity to identify and imbue value in select images from the infinite stream of generative material produced by AI models. This opportunity gave rise to synthetic art. The collection occupies an entirely new niche in the NFT space. Its defining characteristic lies in its uniqueness: in the history of its creation, in the resulting content, which, though generated by AI, remains a vision conceived by its creators, and, significantly, in the complete delegation of the project’s creation process to AI—from the first generated image to the website and the text you are reading now. Even apparent flaws, such as unevenly rendered fingers, blurred outlines, erroneously drawn extra limbs, and anomalies, are not defects but defining characteristics, a hallmark of our collection and the previous image generation model. This is already history. The value of each NFT is inherently embedded within it. Owning one means possessing a rare relic, a piece of history: a moment when AI was not yet perfect but was already on the path to greatness. 














No other story like this exists.
