I actually think that AI might be closer to Web 2.0 than blockchain.
I 100% agree. I use AI on purpose for things, once in awhile. I've never had a use for blockchain, only had it shoved at me.
I mean you still have people learning COBOL so they can program mainframes for banks.
Exactly. Ilike Cobol as an obvious point against both extremes of the AI argument.
"AI is going completely away..." - Sure. Right after Cobol and the Fax machine.
But also "AI has eliminated all need for X, Y and Z." Sure. Right. And it also just got rid of Cobol and fax machines, right?
Things change surprisingly fast, at the same time as things change shockingly slowly.
What doesn't go out of style is learning and expertise.
