Unlike NFTs, it’s actually used by ordinary people

Yeah, but i don't recall every tech company shoving NFTs into every product ever whether it made sense or if people wanted it or not. Not so with AI. Like, pretty much every second or third tech article these days is "[Company] shoves AI somewhere else no one asked for".

It's being force-fed to people in a way blockchain and NFTs never were. All so it can gobble up training data.

That's because it died out before they all could, Reddit had the nft like aliens thing twitter used to let you use your nft as a profile picture. It just died out way too quick for the general tech companies to get in on it.

If it stayed longer Samsung would have worked out how to put nft tech in their phones

Ubisoft went all in on that shit. Square still dreams of nft for whatever reason, as their shitty Symbiogenesis game shows

What you described literally happened with blockchain, not with NFTs because by then everyone knew blockchain is fucking stupid and NFTs were just a layer of full retard on top.

In a recent study, Jain and Jain (2019) measure the valuation effect of including the words “blockchain” or “bitcoin” in corporate names using a set of ten publicly listed firms. They found that these firms earn significant positive abnormal returns that persist for 2 months after the name change announcement.
