I was ok with crypto and nft because it was up to me to decide if I want to get involved in it or not.
AI does seem to have impact at jobs, at least employers are trying to use it and see if it actually will allow them to hire less staff, I see that for SWE. I don't think AI will do much there though.
it's not up to you, it just failed before it could be implemented. many publishers already commit to in-game nfts before they had to back down because it fell apart too quickly (and some still haven't). if it held on for just a couple more years there wouldn't be a single aaa title that doesn't have nfts today.
crypto was more complicated because unlike these two you can't just add it and say "here, this is all crypto now" because it requires prior commitment and it's way too complicated for the average person. plus it doesn't have much benefit: people already give you money and buy fake coins anyway.
I'm giving examples from games because it's the most exploitative market but these would also seep into other apps and services if not for the hurdles and failures. so now we're stuck with this. everyone's doing it because it's a gold rush except instead of gold it's literal shit, and instead of a rush it's literal shit.

... and just today I realized I had to switch back to Google assistant because literally the only thing gemini can do is talk back to me, but it can't do anything useful, including the simplest shit like converting currency.
"I'm sorry, I'm still learning" -- why, bitch? why don't you already know this? what good are you if I ask you to do something for convenience and instead you tell me to do it manually and start explaining how I can do the most basic shit that you can't do as if I'm the fucking idiot.
