The end of the Web has always been a topic of debate. Some have said that social networks would destroy it, followed by threats from mobile applications, but none of these prophecies have come true. However, this time, AI might truly be different. From the rise and fall of centralized platforms to the exploration of decentralized networks, the internet is facing an unprecedented paradigm shift. The involvement of AI not only reshapes the way information flows but also challenges the underlying infrastructure of existing networks. In this major upheaval, many see opportunities for blockchain technology to fill the gap—transparent, verifiable, censorship-resistant underlying protocols that may protect the essence of the internet in the AI era.

This time, the power of AI is indeed a bit different. All those doomsday theories before have failed. Will AI really break the current game rules? It still seems like it depends on the chain. It's both centralized and decentralized, so annoying. I just want to make money. If this wave of blockchain can truly save the internet, then my previous beliefs won't have been in vain. It's the same old story. Every time they say there will be a revolution, but in the end, it's still capital that calls the shots.

It's another doomsday theory, I'm getting calluses on my ears from hearing it haha AI is indeed a bit different this time, but honestly, can blockchain really save the world? After all these years, Web3 is still the same—dreams are very grand Betting on which will blow up first: AI or Web3? Both anti-censorship and transparent verification sound exhausting—do users really care about this? But seriously, centralized platforms really should reflect and reconsider

Is this another doomsday theory for the web? I've heard this rhetoric for ten years, and every time they say this time it's really the end, but what happened... But speaking of which, this wave of AI is indeed quite powerful; it feels different now. Can blockchain protect the essence of the internet? First, solve your own problems before boasting. This round has truly reached a critical point; someone should have stood up earlier to oppose the centralized power of these big platforms. Still promoting Web3 in the AI era? How should I put it... it's a bit naive.
