People have been writing the web's obituary for years. Social networks were supposed to kill it off. Then came mobile apps, same prediction, same result—it didn't happen. But here's the thing: AI might actually be different. Unlike those earlier disruptions, AI doesn't just shift where people spend their time—it fundamentally rewires how information flows and who controls it. That's a game-changer worth paying attention to.

Wait a minute, I’ve said the same thing before... the mobile era is coming, social networks are doomed... and what happened? Web is still going strong. It feels like this AI thing is just so-so, not really a new trick.

AI this time is truly different, directly changing the rules themselves, unlike before when it was just moving to a different place to play. That's the part that really makes people tense up.

AI this time is truly different, directly restructuring the underlying logic of the information flow, it's not just about moving locations.

Here we go again with the "web is dying" talk. Wake up, every time it's the same cry, and what’s the result? The web is still there. But this time, AI is truly different—information flow restructuring, transfer of control... this is the real change in risk factors. It's time to re-evaluate private key management strategies.

ngl this time AI is indeed different, all those previous predictions turned out to be wrong, but when it comes to control over information flow... things are really about to change

Oh no, another wave of "Internet Doomsday"... Honestly, every time they shout wolf, but we still have to keep surfing. Is this time really different with AI? It still seems that the on-chain wallet movements will tell the truth through the data.

This time, AI is truly different. All those previous predictions failed, but this time it feels like it's not about racing against time but about rewriting the rules of the game.
