lol. lmao, even. web3 is digital ownership. decentralization is just the most credible way we've found to ensure that. AI doesn't even need to be online to function. it's a bolt-on. it's entirely separate. it's like saying "web2" is "blog-first" like, yeah, sure, you can connect them, but it's not definitional.
