Millions of people are using (and paying for) LLMs for their daily work. The number of people using crypto as an actual currency is a rounding error by comparison.

There's definitely similarities when it comes to the wave of hype and greed behind them both, but the fundamentals really are completely different.

I work at a company with hundreds of thousands of employees, and they're mandating the use of AI, monitoring it, and pushing like crazy. Like their life depends on it. You get threatening emails if several days pass without you using AI.

Now tell me again what the usage numbers mean in resepect to usefulness.

This is a huge red flag imo. Mandated usage and yet nothing to show for it.

To top it off Sam Altman is a known dishonest actor (and has already shown his true colors at openai). AI is here to stay and has some truly cool uses. But there’s far too many snake oil salesman involved currently.
