In most ways it doesn't matter, but if you're accusing someone of lying and then your evidence of that is something that someone else said, then that's lazy (at best).

I'm not sure there's anything "to get." But given your level of curiosity it's not surprising.

Web3 was absolute horseshit (and always was), so if you're blending AI with that based on the similarly grandiose claims and the extremely annoying boosterism, I think you should try hitting reset and engaging with LLMs from a cleaner slate.
