This is a dangerous assertion.
Web3 never had any “there there” No coherent use case, no value add. Smart contracts? Maybe. No proposed use case actually requires or benefits from blockchain. The currencies were always blatant speculation. A cabdriver in OKC recently told me he was “invested” in diesel coin. A) wtf is that and B) in what way is that an investment (you know where you dedicate capital to a value engine and when value is created you get out more than you put in)
AI as it exists TODAY has the potential (with a bit of prompt engineering and a free account) to assist everyone in their jobs. It will disrupt the software industry, art, writing, education, law, science.
Specialized AI assistants already exist and work startlingly well. It can write at a college level. It can code at a college level. It can learn specialized knowledge worker skills in a trivial amount of time. (Law for example)
It’s ok to not be optimistic. But if you discount it entirely you’re in for a bad time in the coming year, three years, five years.
Actually no, do whatever you want. Ai will come as a surprise to something like 6 billion people. There’s no harm to me in you being part of that group. And frankly the existence of different opinions about the future is a great hedge every society makes.
