Blockchain solves a specific problem: safe transactions without a trusted authority.
It has a lot of downsides to solve this problem without a trusted authority, so in any case where you can use a trusted authority (for example a central server) it’s much better to use that instead of a blockchain.
So everyone who added blockchains to their projects gained all the downsides while never having the problem it was meant to solve in the first place.
AIs, and I assume you meant LLMs with that, are a different breed. LLMs are new: never before could a computer handle natural language to such a degree.
Problem is, that it’s still new. So no one knows what the “killer applications” are or what monetization should look like, or what the laws about it will be.
People just throw every against the wall and see what sticks… And hope for AGI/ASI and to be on the side that rides that nearly infinite potential to the moon.
Or, you know, crash and burn in case AI reaches a wall/diminishing returns/systemic problems that can’t be fixed.
I think semantic search could be a use for it, except our corporate overlords won’t give that for us, as that wouldn’t be as futuristic as a “talking computer”.

We will see.
