I agree that a lot of crypto grifter seem to be moving on to AI. But it seems like the author is doing the same thing. Since no one is interested in reading his criticism of cypto anymore, he is now moving on to AI. Legend.
I don't think he's moving to AI. It's a whole lot harder to mass scam people in AI than in crypto. BTC and ETH are still pretty high in price. He's still only covering crypto. But he's right that many scammers, grifters, opportunists have moved to AI.
Even the ones left in crypto are basically trying to associate their crypto projects with AI as much as possible.
If real estate was hot, crypto would try to associate with real estate. If room temperature superconductors are invented, they'd say crypto for superconductors. Basically, in order for useless crypto shitcoins to get attention, they attach themselves to anything that's hot.
co-author here: lol I assure you we have no wish to continue on this AI path. OTOH, we both got new patrons all of a sudden. And there's a similar article to write about quantum computing grift, with massive misselling of systems that might one day be able to factor numbers as high as 35.
