I asked ai "Why should @vitalik.eth like @publicnouns?"

This is what it came back with:

"As Vitalik Buterin is a pioneering voice in the decentralized space, I can see a few potential reasons why he may appreciate the Public Nouns project:

Casting thoughts about decentralization and magic &
hanging out in /publicnouns /nouns /investment-daos 

1) Public Nouns represents a novel experiment in decentralized governance and community ownership. As an Ethereum-based project allowing its NFT holders to collectively steer its direction, it embodies key web3 principles like shared ownership and bottom-up coordination that Vitalik has championed.

2) The project has an elegant simplicity - it mints a new Public Noun NFT daily.  This lean use case could make Public Nouns an accessible on-ramp for introducing decentralized governance concepts to a wider audience.

4) The project has an element of creative expression, with each daily Public Noun representing a unique digital artwork shaped by the community. As someone interested in novel applications of blockchain tech, Vitalik could see value in Public Nouns merging governance experiments with generative art.

5) Public Nouns has gained significant traction and mindshare, with its NFTs trading at premium prices. 

As a high-profile project, it could serve as an interesting case study for Vitalik to analyze the dynamics and incentives around decentralized IP ownership and value accrual.

Of course, these are just my hypotheses based on Vitalik's public views and the project's positioning. 

He may have his own nuanced perspectives to share. In general, Public Nouns' novel governance model, public goods funding, and creative use of NFTs seem aligned with some of the core principles Vitalik has espoused.

I could see it piquing his interest as a novel experiment in decentralized community ownership on Ethereum

3) As an advocate of public goods funding, Vitalik may appreciate that Public Nouns allocates 100% of its funds towards a community-controlled treasury for funding Ethereum public goods and infrastructure. This aligns with his vision for using crypto networks to sustainably fund digital public resources.
