    There are use cases for AI. There are none for NFTs.

    One use case is whenever you need to produce some inane bullshit that nobody is probably going to read anyway, but it’s still required for some reason. Like cover letters.

    Now, you might argue that we should work towards a society where we don’t have to produce this inane bullshit that nobody’s going to read anyway, and I would agree with you. But as long as we’re here, we might as well offload this pointless labor onto a pointless labor-saving machine.

      Kindly disagree. People actually read cover letters, and a cryptographically secured entry on a pubic ledger has some conceivable use.

        I have my doubts. I’ve had more than one recruiter tell me “I don’t read cover letters”, and even if they are “reading” it, it’s going to be a brief skim at best.

        In any case, that still doesn’t mean that you should be writing them. My point is that it’s make-work. It’s there to weed out candidates and demonstrate your ability to jump through their hoops.

        a cryptographically secured entry on a pubic ledger has some conceivable use.

        We’re talking specifically about NFTs.

        So much spam… internet is hardly usable after a decade of SEO and now with LLM sprinkled on top.
