Is it really fair to categorize ICP within the AI Agent narrative? The debate around Internet Computer's positioning in the crypto ecosystem has been heating up lately. Some argue its infrastructure-focused approach and smart contract capabilities align more with Layer-1 blockchain solutions. Others contend that with its ability to support decentralized AI applications and autonomous smart contracts, ICP could justifiably claim a seat at the AI Agent table. The question touches on how we define emerging narratives in crypto—should classification be based on primary tech stack, actual use cases, or market narrative momentum? Worth revisiting ICP's technical roadmap to draw informed conclusions.

To be honest, ICP's recent narrative adjustment somewhat resembles "riding the coattails" of AI Agents, forcing its way up... Infrastructure + smart contracts are just the responsibilities of Layer 1, why insist on jumping on the bandwagon?

But Layer1 has already been completed and is no longer challenging. It is a company specializing in computer technology and AI Agents9, so it's a familiar area. Let's consider it as a project expansion.

As for the ICP thing, to be honest, it feels a bit like over-marketing. Instead of forcing it into AI Agents, it would be better to focus on doing a good job with Layer 1, which would seem more professional.

NGL, the ICP topic has been overhyped a bit. Is it infrastructure or AI agent? It's whatever the market dictates.

Well... about ICP, to be honest, it's a bit overhyped, forcing it into AI Agent feels a bit forced.

🔥 To be honest, the classification problem of ICP is a pseudo-proposition. They just want to ride the AI Agent hype because of their strong tech stack. Don't fool yourself.

It's just the same as liquidity mining, just renamed as AI Agent. ICP should have recognized its true nature long ago.

ICP's narrative is a bit like rowing a boat to find a sword; forcing it into the AI Agent framework feels unnecessary.

NGL, this is just the label game in the crypto world—anything can be stuffed into an AI agent... ICP is fundamentally infrastructure, but people are just trying to ride the hot trend.

Is this round of ICP marketing really effective? It feels like just riding the AI hype... But on the other hand, if it can actually run those autonomous contracts, maybe it's worth discussing?
