    The article is just talking about selling AI generated 3d models on a marketplace, so maybe for that use case it has no exchange value.

    That doesn’t mean everything generated by AI has no value. It doesn’t even mean that AI generated 3d models have no value, people may be using AI to generate models for themselves and getting value from it, even if they can’t sell that on a marketplace.

    It’d be like saying a scarf I knitted has no value, I may not be able to sell it because it’s not as good as professionally made scarves and has some colors that don’t sell well, but it still has value to me because I like the colors and it keeps my neck warm.

      Yes, you’re correct in logic, wrong in context.

      AI is a unique situation of corporate malpractice, see doomsaying from all AI CEO’s, at the same time as all the protections and safeguards in finance have been removed by those financial wizards in Washington.

      It needs to take over markets, drive productivity, and deliver world changing returns otherwise the valuations don’t make any sense and the market flops. Of course the people making the big money now plan to exit at advantageous times. Leaving bag-holders, this has been witnessed with the SpaceX/AI float earlier this year, and nobody lifted a finger to stop our retirement savings being used to line the pockets of the Epstein class.

      For better explanations see,
