Lately been diving deep into the AI boom across Web3—projects everywhere claiming to revolutionize things. But here's the thing: do we actually need all of them? Started doing some real digging into what's actually being built, not just the hype. Filtered through dozens of projects, and honestly, most are just repackaging existing ideas. A few, though? These ones caught my eye. They're solving real problems, not just chasing the trend. Built a shortlist of the ones worth actually paying attention to—the projects with substance behind the AI narrative.

Truth be told, 99% are clone projects, just changing disguises to continue scamming.

Have you reviewed dozens? I'm just asking if you've looked at the contract code, or are you only reading the white paper and telling stories?

ngl the "real problem solving" narrative is just another layer of the psyops playbook... watch how fast these "substance projects" pump once social sentiment shifts

This guy's point is right; 99% are rebranded projects, truly valuable ones are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Wake up, most of them are just rebranded trash, and there are really only a few that look good.

Wake up, most of them are just new disguises for air coins.

Really, most projects are just copying and pasting, making me want to vomit.

Well said, the hype is too loud, and truly valuable projects are easily drowned out. --- Can you share some of those genuinely interesting projects? I'm also looking for something that’s not just a quick cash grab. --- That's why doing homework is important; most projects look just like "rebranding tricks." --- Honestly, 99% of Web3 AI projects haven't figured out what they're really doing and are just rushing to raise funds. --- I have ideas, just wondering when this list will be released. I'm waiting. --- I totally agree. The most annoying are those descriptions of "revolutionary technology," which are obviously lacking real substance.

Awesome, finally someone dares to dive into these projects and truly verify them, not just talk big. Most of them are just superficial, so annoying.
