In 2022, the hype on the metaverse was everywhere and tens of billions of dollars were invested in the industry. But in 2023, that story has been all but forgotten, as speculators eagerly jump on the AI ​​bandwagon. But there is generative AI taking shape as a new way for users to build the metaverse themselves, virtual worlds where creators own a slice of the economy through blockchain and NFTs.

For example, the game metaverse called Alien Worlds has plans to make this concept a reality. Created by Dacoco in 2021 and with 50,000 daily users, this Dune-cyberpunk hybrid game features six DAOs of token holders called Planetary Syndicates competing for the share of the mysterious element called Trilium (a token, TLM).

AI enables non-artists to create visuals, non-developers to code programs, and basically allows anyone with a bright idea to contribute to creating new worlds and games.

Coordinating a large user-built Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars equivalent through AI and blockchain is a huge advance.

However, no one doubts that AI is here to stay, although its use in professional settings will be limited until hallucinations and reliability issues can be fixed.
