Does anyone else notice that crypto communities tend toward tribalism while AI communities don't?

Here's something that might surprise you — crypto communities are notoriously tribal, fiercely divided over coins and brands. Yet, when it comes to AI and language models, the vibe is surprisingly chill. According to /u/Super-Cut-2175, who was drafting an article on this, the loyalty to different AI companies or models tends to be much more relaxed, almost friendly. Why the stark difference? Well, some experts think it’s because crypto’s built on competition and scarcity — fights over value, control, identity. But AI, on the other hand, is seen more as a collaborative tool, so people don’t get as emotionally involved. As /u/Super-Cut-2175 points out, it’s like crypto is a battlefield of tribal loyalties, while AI is more like a shared playground. So what does this actually mean? Well, for professionals, it’s a reminder that technology communities aren’t all the same — some are more divided than others, and understanding why could help us navigate debates more smoothly.

I was drafting an article about both AI and crypto and noticed that the brand loyalties between different LLMs and companies using AI tend to be much more chill compared to the fights between different coins. I wonder why.
