The reason crypto is useless isn’t because it enables scams and fraud. It is because it either provides solutions to non-problems OR solves a problem that would be solved much better, cheaper, and faster in conventional ways.
If it wasn’t able to facilitate money laundering and fraud, very few of us would’ve ever heard about it.
This is my lens for understanding “AI”.
What problem does it solve that is a) a real problem and b) solved in a much better way than conventional means?
