## Quote — verbatim

> Web3 is incredible to attract supply because it has \[an\] amazing incentive model, amazing network effects, amazing distribution mechanism to attract supply — but terrible at delivering value... the web3 \[is\] the supply, the AI is the demand... Did you see the recent ChatGPT numbers? 1 million users within five days and 100 million users within 45 days — the growth of demand is incredible.
