AI v crypto comparisons are so easy to debunk.

Simple test: Can a regular consumer derive value in less than 20 keystrokes that they already know how to type (eg English)? How about 50? 100?

LLMs: yes

Crypto: no

Immediate, short-term perception of value doesn’t matter for long-term strategy.

I suppose we’ll see in 2-3 years how many businesses maintain their newly found focus on “AI”. I’m betting that the organizations that aren’t employing internal teams training their own models will drop off quickly.

A lot of companies are just throwing together an interface to OpenAI and praying for the best. Long-term this won’t work. Users will eventually demand 100.0% data accuracy.

Eventually the novelty will wear off.
