As in every hype cycle: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. A little while ago the hammer was blockchain, now it's AI.

- DonHopkins 3y agoBlockchain isn't anywhere near as useful as a hammer. If you were gullible enough to fall for the promises of the blockchain, then of course you're going to be disappointed that AI isn't a get-rich-quick pyramid scheme that will make you millions of dollars without any investment of time or energy or original thought, because if that's all you're looking for, you're going to be continuously disappointed (and deserve to be). There's a lot more to AI than to the blockchain, and comparing the two as equal shows you don't understand what either of them are.
- TobyTheDog123 3y agoI don't really understand your hostile response nor foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of blockchain technology (I'm guessing it came from a bad interaction with a crypto bro on Twitter or something), however I think OP is just saying that both were popular technological trends that people tries to exploit to solve problems that society didn't really have. One technology is obviously more helpful than the other, but that doesn't mean either are the right choice for the business you're building.
