AI art

I know of a few but Farcaster hive mind help me out. What are the earliest AI NFT collections?

OR 

What are historic NFT collections?

Please comment with when/why and a link.

I'm no historian, but the first / earliest debates can run around in circles.

early + important? 

probably wanna include the BrainDrops day one collections:
Brain Loops by Gene Kogan
podGANs by @vanarman 
Genesis by Claire Silver

I do thinks the analogy for artblocks is a good one, yeah. Here's an article that covers some context:

also, all 3 of those artists were already doing super cool stuff before that drop & each one is very unique.

Thanks for adding to the chain. Was Braindrops the first platform for AI artists? Similar to artblocks but for AI?
