@baldur important lesson from the crypto bubble here as well. its been multiple years since the dominant narrative because that its largely useless/a scam, and the price hit all time highs just a few months ago, and is still stable

also fairly safe to call generative ai a sector that has more practical usecases currently (even tho much lowers than the boosters would like you to believe) than crypto has, so this effect will likely be even stronger

@laurenshof @baldur I disagree about "more practical usecases". As much as I hate everything about cryptocurrencies, they have had practical use cases for people denied access to receiving money through conventional channels, and to people who need to buy illegal goods or services. "AI" OTOH doesn't actually meet any need.

@dalias @laurenshof @baldur Well, for flooding the web with disinformation, scams, and spam, it’s unparalleled at extruding vast quantities of information-shaped content product.

@KronoGarrett @laurenshof @baldur Oh yes, it has harm-committing uses. I should have clarified that I meant beneficial uses.
