I'd say there's more. AI has been a staple of sci-fi and movies, a major field of academic research since Turing in the 1950s, predicted to be a big deal by major thinkers like John von Neumann, taken as a big deal by all the largest companies.

Web3 on the other hand, none of that. I think it was some sort of crypto scam spinoff.

Re. economics, I think AI will develop a bit like in the movies but hopefully not Terminator 2.
