I think this unnecessarily dismisses 'AI' alongside 'Web3' just because a hype cycle has moved from one to the other.
I wouldn't put them in the same bucket, though.
Web3 had lots of jargon that made it inaccessible for outsiders; it's difficult to point to use cases most people could care about. Blockchain technologies aren't going to be all that useful for only one user.
With AI, it's easier to imagine cases where this can be useful (e.g. coding assistants), which don't suffer the same downsides.
Well, it's not really an "AI" if it doesn't have a truthful model of the world. I can see how people would think it's useful, but they don't see the downsides that come with it, and it's gonna become harder and harder to not be misled.
