The internet has survived countless predictions of its demise. First came the warnings about social networks taking over, then mobile apps. Yet here we are—the web adapted and thrived. But this time feels different. AI might be the real existential challenge the internet faces. Unlike previous paradigm shifts that transformed how we access content, AI threatens the very foundation of how information flows and trust operates online. The question isn't whether the threat is real—it's whether decentralized infrastructure and Web3 solutions can offer the resilience the current system can't guarantee.

Once again, "the internet is doomed," this time with AI taking the stage? I'm wondering if Web3 can truly solve the trust issues in information flow, or if it's just another way to harvest profits from newcomers.

Buddy, are you talking about Web3 saving the world again? I actually want to see how distributed systems deal with this AI thing.

Web3 veteran, always says it will die but ends up thriving. This time, AI is truly different; the centralized approach will eventually crash.

I really think this time is different; AI is playing way too wild.
