Is there anything stopping me from creating a new NFT for that digital image and trying to pass it off as an original?

I assume it's something along the lines of, "NFTs are linked to their creator, and we know that you are not the original artist." But if you have to check with some centralized organization like OpenSea to validate if the NFT is authentic not, it seems to defeat the purpose.

Maybe I'm nitpicking and should focus on the more obvious flaws with NFTs, but I feel like even if you set those aside, the technology doesn't seem like it'd do a good job of tracking legitimate ownership.

Nope. There was actually a Twitter thread a few weeks back where a creator of game assets had their assets ripped off and made into an NFT. He complained about it, and then he got harassed by the NFT community, because they wanted him to "work with" the people who ripped him off. They were upset that they were going to lose their "investments." Which basically shows that all the talk about securing creators' rights and rewarding them is a load of bullshit.

Every time I hear a story like that, I get sightly more convinced that NFTs will receive some kind of legal recognition in one state or another, leading to the nft creator suing the actual artist.

The charizard is both A: an actual object you can own and B: useful in its own right as a game piece.

I tried to click on the link to read the replies, but had forgotten that I had set up an add-on that redirects any Twitter URL I try to access to a website that generates random quotes from Stoic philosophers, for my own protection.

This particular quote I got was from Seneca: "Truth often harms the one who digs it up." Seems appropriate here.
