I don't agree with this, like strongly.
What is web3 actually? I don't think there is a definition people can agree on. So even bashing web3 as if it is anything other than at best a vaporware, worst case a scam, is fruitless and not grounded in reality.
Let's talk about the current climate in AI part. From his tweet, he seems to point to Sam Altman's statement that GPT-3.5+ is going to 'civilization transformation'. Well, if you follow Altman's past statements, he likes to make grandiose statements like this, and at the end of day, it is more of his personal style of speech than anything else.
So let's back to the comparison of web3 vs GPT style AI agents. I would argue, the latter is indeed, partially already a reality. Imagine if you have a multiple modular in-context learning agents, then here is the opportunity: A machine that is programmable through natural language and examples/demonstrations. The level of automation potential is going to insane, even scary. What if we hook it up with some robotic arms? If someone makes this work, we will have a factory that can make many many things, at the same time, in the same place, with little human involvement. This, of course, is going to fundamentally change wide range of industries, or capitalism itself and will have geopolitical implications.
