No, there was already an "AI-like", but much more superior solution available for decades at this point: Outsourcing the work to a country with low wages. Even nowadays you can get highly skilled workers for like $50 a month in so

I can't help but assume that anything being described as using graphene, carbon nanotubes, crypto, blockchain, bitcoin and - to some degree - AI is a scam. I feel like the only person I've heard talking about graphene and actually
