The basic concept of an NFT seems like it's the same as a signed print of a physical piece of art. It's a limited edition, identifiable unique object, and conveys little to no 'ownership' rights of the underlying art (in terms of copyright).
Often those same pieces of art are available as cheap mass produced posters or similar.
That's been a thing for quite a while, sometimes they end up worth a bunch of money. (I just recently went to a museum with a bunch of Warhol prints)
On-face, NFTs are ... whatever ... boring to me. The underlying Eth blockchain is super problematic, as the environmental cost of creating and trading NFTs is so incredibly stupid. Other blockchains seem better, but have less traction generally.
