AI agents are taking crypto by storm, but analysts and executives aren’t convinced the rising tide of generative chatbots and their affiliated tokens have long-term staying power.
Crypto investors have become enamored with the emergence of quick-witted AI agents like Aixbt and creative “schizo” bots Zerebro and Truth Terminal, but skeptics have been quick to criticize the nascent sector, slamming the majority of AI agents as being nothing more than chatbots with useless tokens attached to them.
“After studying the AI agent space for a week now: It’s 90% chatbots with a meme coin bolted on,” wrote Bitcoiner Mark Jeffrey in a Jan. 2 post to X.
“99% of it will die and 1% will be something great (maybe),” he said.
