It's not crypto. It will 100% be around for the foreseeable future. Maybe not in the form it currently exists and maybe not even at the scale it currently exists, but it's here to stay.

Embracing it means the software we all rely on becomes progressively worse, and our ability to understand and fix that software will decrease as well.
Embracing this also likely means we accept that our salaries will decrease, while others will lose their jobs outright.
Finally, it means we accept a world where people are now all reliant on AI trained and deployed by a select few companies to do our thinking. This is especially irksome when these companies are ran by the same people who previously ruined public discourse through social media apps, and gave a generation of children mental health issues and insecurities.
