> Read the whole thread. Francis is the creator of Keras and an AI engineer at Google. He knows his stuff.
I read the thread, it actually starts with him saying:
"If this had been a blog post and not a random spur-of-the-moment train of thoughts, I wouldn't have made the AI/web3 comparison. It was counterproductive, as it is what most folks are now focusing on. The two are, in fact, very much not the same."
So you can have the "appeal to authority" but the authority now says that was bad and should not have done it. :-)
He continues:
"I meant to compare the surrounding hype generation dynamics (as discussed towards the end of the thread). Expectations unmoored from reality becoming a universally accepted, self-evident canon once the same narratives have been repeated enough times in the echo chamber."
