On the future of AI & Crypto
I don't think AI will replace all jobs but continue to abstract away the barriers to creating the things we want.
Behind every masterful AI generated artwork is a person that knows how to describe it in detail. Behind an AI generated game is a vibe coder guiding it in the right direction. You still need domain specific knowledge to prompt what you are looking in a granular manner.
When I first saw AIXBT live, I had an existential crisis as a content creator that has been writing about crypto for 3 years. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that AI won't diminish the value of human experiences but will actually increase it.
People use social media for the human element behind it. As AI content continues to flood the internet, authenticity and human experience becomes more valuable not less.
With that said, informational writing will absolutely be taken over by AI. Instead of reading through whitepapers, I plug it into an LLM and ask questions instead. I don't see this trend stopping.
The next big value unlock for AI is autonomous interactions between agents. We already see Virtuals aiming to facilitate this through ACP, but I am a bit skeptical of Crypto AI projects becoming genuinely useful beyond niche use cases.
This is partly due to the resources that Web2 companies have to build better products and the speculative nature of Web3.
For better or worse, any crypto related AI project will be fueled by speculation which shifts attention away from any utility an agent may have. The AI Agent darlings that people were hyping up have lost most attention and users because price is down.
As a result, I currently find it hard to believe in the longevity of Web3 AI agents.
Crypto AI will have its time to shine again. Decreasing compute costs and better models will enable new use cases to speculate on. However, most of this attention will go to new projects that can take advantage of this first.
The next big frontier is Physical AI where you have AI machines that can interact in the real world. Robotics seem like the end game but AI robots are a much larger hurdle than generative AI. Costs are much steeper and complexity is much higher. I know there are crypto projects trying to build physical AI but I'm not sure how far this will get.
As it stands, robotics are more likely to be used in places like manufacturing and retail rather than general purpose robots that do your bidding. The former is much easier to automate and there are much fewer variables for the robot to consider.
Ultimately, I am not sure where humanity will go from here but I choose to stay optimistic. The more you adapt to AI the more you realize the limit is your creativity.
