I don't disgree with the comments on AI but the article does not alude to what web 3.0 actually is.

If we are talking about the decentralised exchange of data, well we've had bittorrent for decades. This is also how Napster worked.

If we are talking about the decentralised storage of data, well blockchains are actually pretty useless as a storage medium. Its why NFTs are merely receipts and not the entire file attached to them.

If we are talking about the decentralisation of communities from social media, well we've had bulletin boards since before the first website was even published.

And if we are talking about some sort of metaverse, well that still requires a server somewhere ran by a centralised company.

As it currently stands Web 3.0 is just Web 1.0 with ticketed entry.

So what is it really? Web 3.0 is an internet that doesn't require a network at all, where data stored not on a server in some ephemeral data centre but right with us in our geographic location. Think Apple Find My or Amazon Sidewalk, a way for devices to communicate jus by virtue of the volume of them. Its a way to give data back to people and communities and uncouple it from the hands of corporations. It gets it out of computers and into the real world where it becomes useful for something.
