The story in a nutshell: "Much of the hype train around cryptocurrencies last year has transitioned to AI-related topics, including an entire ecosystem of scammers. The latest example is 'TruthGPT Coin', a project that jumbled together AI and crypto buzzwords and was ordered to cease operations." I've long maintained that the sketchiness around blockchain and crypto derives not from the technology itself but from the financial services industry that used it. The same with ed tech; some pundits notwithstanding, it's not the technology that's sketchy, it's the hucksters and promoters trying to make a quick buck. We're seeing a similar pattern in AI. Again, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but rather, the problem is the people pretending it's some sort of snake oil.
