Bitcoin has provided hundreds of billions in value, chatGPT has provided me with one hundred times the spam.

I'm actually optimistic about both crypto and AI, but I see the authors point. I really don't think the comparison is hard to spot between the AI hype and, say, the NFT hype from 1 year ago.

A lot of people are claiming that these technologies will imminently change everything, fundamentally. In reality, both of them are just neat things that give us a glimpse of what the future may hold, and hold a bunch of promise, but aren't really changing anything fundamentally. Not yet, at least.
