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!

GPTs have had immediate tangible benefits without needing to spend an hour preaching or explaining things.

Crypto's sole usefulness remains in providing money transfers/liquidity in parts of the world where the local systems are failing or off-limits to the users.

Crypto's main value to a LOT of people is purely speculation that you could be rich by buying it cheap and then watching the value explode. No one expected DogeCoin to provide any utility at all, but tons of people bought it.

Countless people play the at the casinos, online poker games, bets - even the stock market is viewed by a lots of people as something of a gamble.

Personally I don't partake - but they get a value in it, I guess. Who am I to judge?

Out of curiosity, does your argument also work for drugs?

>>Yoric+DC
Isn't it obvious drugs have utility?

Depends on the drugs. If you think anyone who is reasonable in their head takes fentanyl (which is 50 times stronger than heroin and can be incredibly easily overdosed on because they are packaged in 24 hour slow release plasters and additionally is either stolen from the healthcare system, sometimes actually ripped off from elderly patients, or bought from mexican drug cartels) then you'd be wrong.

Fentanyl is an FDA-approved analgesic. I would guess that the reasonable person who is prescribed fentanyl takes it.

>>single+Yk1
Fentanyl is a last resort painkiller that is extremely heavily regulated in other countries and prescribed for things like tumor pain and heavy burns. It's not a regular painkiller, it's a narcotic. If you dose it high enough it can be used during anesthesia.

Yes, everyone knows all of this. My point stands: people who are prescribed fentanyl typically take it.
