The major difference between the 2 is how they're being adopted by customers and the tangible value they return.

AI/ML barrier to entry is far simpler and vastly user friendly compared to crypto. Instant value return or gratification from ML products (GTPs and rest) is far more mainstream friendly.

Another view is the "loss" factor. Nobody, thus far, has has had their funds stolen or lost using ML products. I understand content creators and those who, unwillingly, contributed knowledge to learning systems did get circumvented but i'm talking about users/customers. Compare that to the negative stigma of crypto frauds and stereotypical association to illegal transactions.

Apples vs. rotten oranges in my opinion!

You are not seeing maybe the numerous consultants and self proclaimed AI experts charging for very dubious solutions. Money is definitely being “stolen”, it’s just a more sophisticated type of stealing. I have yet to see an AI solution that delivers x times the value of simpler rule based models.

I pay 15 minutes of me take home pay every month for a chat window which I can ask any basic programming question and get a correct answer, 80% of the time, in about 20 seconds. This thing has paid for itself after it has let me avoid looking up about 4 easy Stack Overflow questions, or 1 medium complexity one.

I mainly use it as a rubber duck. I like that I can ask stupid questions and get mostly right information back. I’ll still verify anything important.

It’s also really quite good in transforming language A to language B if you’re learning a new programming language
