By that argument then no software can ever be innovative because it all runs on Turing-complete computers that could have done that already.

- gregjor 4y agoRefuctio ad absurdum. The internet is already a “global computer” that can store programs indefinitely and run them based on triggers and schedules. Calling the Ethereum blockchain a “global computer” and scripts “smart contracts” gives the appearance of innovation without any actual innovation. The main contribution of blockchain/crypto so far is ridiculous energy consumption and enabling crime and fraud. In terms of software development or computer science there’s no innovation, just claims of innovation hiding behind buzzwords and hype.
