Crypto has very narrow usage unless you're a criminal or a bro, NFT has essentially 0 non-bro activity, surely AI attracts bros, but also some of the smartest people I've known have been working on it a long time to build truly useful things.
replyAI can be really attractive to bros but also be incredibly useful.
In other words, AI isn't a trend that's going to pass, it's permanently going to reshape the tech scene and economy in a way that cryptocoins and NFTs absolutely did not.

replyThis exact wording was used for crypto. "It isn't a trend that's going to pass" and "It's going to reshape everything." Why are we sure of it now for AI (and that we're going to be right), when they were also sure of it before for crypto (and they ended up wrong)?
The AI people have the exact same feelings of absolute certainty as the crypto people had.
People's grandmothers know what AI is and many have used it, even outside the west.
replyProbably zero grandmothers outside the west, and very few grandmothers within the west, know what NFT even stands for.
