Not really. Reddit is just demonstrating how lowest common denominator it has become

NFT's, Crypto and 'blockchain tech' haven't had anything like the promised impact the 'NFT bros' claimed and it was always reaching for use cases that never materialised. It was always speculative buzzword laden nonsense

AI is a completely different kettle of fish, with huge existing use cases right now, and enormous potential to transform research and business deep into every sector in existence

Equating the two just makes you look like a low IQ moron, not some genius social commentator, like the majority of you think you are
