I have seen someone type "tell me how make a million dollar business" into chatgpt. Of course that's not going to work. But LLMs have immediate obvious value that crypto does not, and I think making the comparison reveals a lack of experience with those useful applications. I'm using chatgpt nearly every day as a tool to help with coding. It's not a replacement for a person, but it is like giving a person a forklift.
