🤖 Web3 AI’s Identity Crisis: Must Decentralization = Blockchain?

The Hard Truth:

Many "decentralized AI" projects force blockchain integration just for funding – but real Web3 values (trustlessness, user ownership) don’t require chains.

🔍 Key Problems

✔️ BitTorrent/Tor proved decentralization ≠ blockchain

✔️ VC & community bias overfunds blockchain-AI hybrids

✔️ Technical misfits: Some AI models slow down on-chain

💡 The Way Forward

▪️ 3 Categories Needed:

1️⃣ Decentralized AI (P2P nets)

2️⃣ Crypto-integrated AI (Tokenized incentives)

3️⃣ Web3 AI (User-owned data)

▪️ Stop gatekeeping "Web3" as blockchain-only
