Yes. In fact, crypto is ahead, because it does have a legitimate use case. Two, actually - money laundering and sanctions evasion.

I'm not sure I agree on your definition of legitimate...

If we want to say that any value generating - including crime - is inbounds, then LLMs are FANTASTIC scam machines. There are incredible uses for LLMs in a lot of stealing money spaces.

I just had an LLM synthesize a complete app UI from spec. It did a decent job.
