I wouldn't go that far. I think there's legitimate value in a digital product that is one-of-a-kind for which the creator is cryptographically prevented from duplicating in an undetectable way. I think there's also value in the idea of some attributes of the instance not being settled or known until the initial transaction completes.

This early phase where NFTs contain URLs to images hosted off-chain is just a situation where an example used to explain the concept ("it's like art") blew up in a completely hilarious way.
