People who dislike certain AI information tools are mostly divided into two groups. One consists of leading players who have benefited from the initial surge—information and time are luxuries, and spending energy daily to distinguish machine-generated content is simply not worth it. The other group feels their livelihood is threatened and believes these tools pose a risk to their value. But in reality? These tools are actually part of the Web3 ecosystem, and their role in driving the market far outweighs any negative impact.

Have those hoping for their downfall considered—once they truly fall, the Matthew effect will be even more intense. The information gap will widen, and the situation where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker will become more apparent. This is not alarmist talk, just watch.

In plain terms, most of the opponents are those who haven't benefited. If AI tools were to completely die out, the information gap would become outrageously large, and at that point, retail investors would still be the ones crying.

Really, those who keep shouting that AI tools are doomed haven't thought through the consequences at all. Top players harvest the gains, while the bottom gets cut, forming a quite stable ecosystem operation model. The Matthew effect is just the trick that Web3 has been playing all along.

Honestly, most of the people opposing AI tools are actually vested interests. Once they've made enough money, they want to shut everything down. Huh? If it collapses, it actually becomes more competitive? That logic has some merit. I just want to ask, after banning these tools, who will be the happiest? It’s definitely the top players. Regarding information asymmetry, without tools to balance it, the lower levels will definitely suffer more. Instead of resisting, it’s better to learn how to use them. What can change anyway? Stop joking. People have already bet on this; those who fall won’t be the tools themselves. The Matthew Effect is spot on; it will really become more extreme.

To be honest, those who are afraid of losing their jobs tend to overreact easily. The Matthew Effect is described very accurately; information barriers will only get higher and higher. People's resistance to change is natural, but in the Web3 environment, not adapting is basically waiting to die. Instead of resisting the tools, it's better to learn how to use them. Those who embraced AI tools early on will definitely be the winners in a few years. Blaming the tools for not getting the initial benefits is honestly a bit funny. Information gaps are the real wealth; tools can help you narrow this gap. Why are some people still rejecting them? I just can't understand. I understand that top players want to avoid trouble, but ordinary people should embrace it more—this is a chance to turn things around. Basically, it's a collision between new and old forces; only the fittest survive. Complaining won't solve the problem.
