Crypto and AI are opposite forces.
AI exploits the availability of computing power to generate an ocean of content, which holds within itself the ocean of content that was the internet prior to the advent of AI, which in turn held within itself the ocean of content that humans had generated prior to the arrival of the internet.
Crypto, by contrast, exploits the phenomenon of uncomputability. It is founded on what no computer, including no AI system, can efficiently compute. Crypto can thus, for example, be used to wall off content that is particularly precious from the reach of AI. Crypto can also be used to mark off human identities, authenticate genuine human voices and clearly differentiate them from the ocean of content generated by AI.
