An interesting phenomenon is circulating in the industry: many AI large models, after facing a cold reception in Web2 financing, are turning their attention to the Web3 track. Some voices claim that only Web3 projects combined with AI are truly decentralized ecosystems. But from another perspective, this seems more like AI projects struggling with funding seeking new ways to harvest profits—burning through VC money first, then coming to Web3 to issue tokens for survival. These are two interpretations, one reality. No wonder some people complain, why telling the truth often prevents them from becoming industry "experts."

Basically, there's no hope for fundraising anymore, so try your luck in Web3. VC funds are exhausted, just issue tokens and take a shot. I've seen this combo too many times, full of tricks. If fundraising is difficult, just issue tokens—no need to make up so many stories. Web3 is the second battlefield for VC projects; let's be honest.

Haha, this trick is really brilliant. Burn VC's money and then issue tokens, perfect cycle. --- It's another dreamy combination of AI+Web3. Basically, it's just looking for new little guys to exploit. --- Honestly, being seen as a non-expert in this area really hurts, but I really can't see where I said anything wrong. --- First raise funds then issue tokens, this process is so familiar, bro. --- So is it technological innovation or fundraising innovation? I can't understand it more and more. --- Web3 has indeed become a refuge for failed fundraising, hilarious. --- I'm a bit confused why honest words have become heretical comments.

Old tricks, VC money burns out and then they issue tokens. Haven't we seen this playbook enough? --- AI+Web3 is just a facade. Honestly, it's just another way to cut corners. --- Haha, really. To be honest, it makes you less of an expert. That's just how this circle is. --- When fundraising is difficult, come to Web3 to survive. No problem at all. --- As long as you dare to issue tokens, you dare to claim decentralization. That's hilarious. --- VC's life-support injection, new Web3 newcomers, a perfect closed loop. --- This is called innovation, everyone. Remember it well.

Really, this is just rebranding and starting over; the tricks of capital are never outdated. --- Once VC money is burned out, you can still scam a wave by issuing tokens—how clever is that? --- Honestly, being suppressed, bragging actually leads to promotions. Web3 is really becoming more and more like a scam academy. --- AI + Web3 is like PPT + fundraising; it sounds sophisticated but actually all the same. --- Got it, it's just about exploiting Web3's sheep, packaging it up to continue taking their money. --- Why can't we tell the truth? Because the truth is too damaging. --- Turning to Web3 isn't really about being optimistic; it's just that there's no other way.
