Is it? Crypto could generate money for you. This can tell you lies based on its hallucinations.
At least when you cashed out, you knew you were cashing out at the value you were being told you were cashing out at. If there were some weird merger between crypto and AI, you'd sell your AIcoin thinking it was valued at $100 but it would turn out it was actually valued at $2 and the AIcoin just told you it was $100.
I think crypto is stupid and annoying and a waste of energy. This is stupider and more annoying and a bigger waste of energy and, worst of all, officially embraced by every major tech company.
Crypto moves money from one hand to another. It doesn't create value in and of itself.
That's not what I mean. I mean it can personally increase someone's net worth, especially if they check out at the right time.
Yeah, I understood what you mean. I'm saying that's not better because there's no value being created. At least AI is capable of doing some useful work for us.
You can even argue that it can make you money. Invest in a tech company involved in AI, cash out at the right time, boom, "free" money.
And I'm saying the work isn't especially useful if it's wrong all the time.
