Interesting article but sounds like lobbying and fear mongering. Previously, blockchain and crypto currency would kill the banks and give control to the people again, visa/mastercard/whatever would be replaced by executives and businesses to save massive txn costs. Sadly, these articles somehow disappeared now and nearly impossible to find.

AI is a solution looking for a problem and some of the best minds had been hired to dumb-down new generation into trusting these bots, so eventually they become reliant and can’t live without AI. See TikTok/FB/Insta in context, how new generation can’t live without these.
