I agree with you that blockchain and cryptocurrency is a scam and has no uses, and I know that several tech companies sprung up to try to make a profit/scam people with "blockchain" tech. But Google/Microsoft/etc never went for those, whereas they are using AI tech. I don't think LLM's/AI's are a fad or a scam, I think there's genuine use cases for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were also serious internal discussions from some cryptocurrency booster within the ranks at Google as well.
