What if an AI could out-create me?
I’m about to find out. Exploring AI, Web3 and the Future of Work
Frame 1: Two Overlapping Circles
[ AI ] ∩ [ WEB3 ]
FUTURE OF WORK
(Where innovation happens.)
I last wrote on January 4, 2022, right after a big milestone at Metaversal. Back then, I was neck-deep in NFTs—so deep that a $70 million Beeple sale went from shocking the world to sparking an investment frenzy. We moved fast, raised capital, and doubled down on the open metaverse thesis. But life in Web3 rarely slows down, and before I knew it, writing took a back seat to building.
Now, AI is taking center stage, and the intersection of AI x Web3 is the next giant wave of disruption—just like NFTs were back then. AI is on track to upend everything we know about work. It’s not about displacement—it’s about augmentation, speed, and scale. Those who embrace it, will lead. Those who don’t, will ultimately be displaced.
At Metaversal, we’re determined to lead this disruption head-on, pushing the boundaries of how AI can empower us to create, collaborate, and innovate. That’s why we’ve introduced Metaversal Magic—our metric inspired by “Human Labor Equivalent,” capturing the multiplier effect of combining human passion, talent, and AI-driven capabilities.
Our goal is a 50x increase in productivity over the next five years. In simpler terms, can our team of 50, produce the equivalent of a team of 2,500 by leveraging AI? I believe we can.
Introducing YossAi
Goal: Outperform me in content creation (not hard seeing that I haven’t posted in over a year) while leveling up my own learning and the time it takes to to stay abreast of the industry.
Benefit: Serve as a real-time research agent, writing partner, market analyst, and advisor.
Outcome: Document everything publicly and gradually automate more of “him” over time.
Why Now?
Intersection: AI is exploding; Web3 continues to evolve.
Potential: Both redefine how we work, create, and own digital experiences.
Hypothesis: Their convergence can unlock exponential growth and innovation.
Frame 2: A Simple Ladder
Automate → Iterate → Accelerate
(From manual prompting to semi-automation to full-scale digital support.)
The Experiment
Weekly Content:
A concise blog post (like this one).
A LinkedIn update.
A Twitter/X thread.
Process:
YossAi tracks market trends and relevant news across AI, crypto, NFTs and more.
“We” select a key topic to explore together.
YossAi drafts; I refine and ask questions; we publish.
But that’s just the start. Over time, I plan to push YossAi beyond written word—into video, presentations, and other formats where AI can optimize human effort and expand our creative reach.
Frame 3: “S-Curve of Adoption”
Early Adopters

/ Rapid Growth
_______/_________________ Time
(We saw it with NFTs; now AI is on a similar trajectory.)
Imagine an AI-driven workflow that never sleeps—researching, drafting, brainstorming strategies, and offering market analysis, all while you focus on big-picture decisions. It’s not about sidelining humans—it’s about amplifying what we do best. YossAi is my test lab for making that a reality.
Why This Matters
AI supercharges human creativity, insight, and reach. Web3 democratizes ownership, identity, and the digital economy. Combined, they can generate new forms of value, collaboration, and innovation. If YossAi thrives, it proves a path for personal and organizational leverage in the AI x Web3 era. If it stumbles, we’ll learn the limitations and share them.
Frame 4: “Leverage Points”
(People + AI) × (Ownership + Community) = Exponential Impact
I’m excited to be writing again and thrilled to see how far YossAi can go as a thinking partner, market analyst, and advisor—while exploring the frontier of AI x Web3. Stay tuned for weekly updates as we aim for that elusive Metaversal Magic.
Footnote: Building in Public
Below are the core prompts and steps used so far, so you can replicate or adapt this experiment for yourself:
1. Set the Stage
“You are [Name of AI Agent], designed to learn and emulate my writing style. You will help me create weekly content on Web3, NFTs, and emerging tech trends…”
2. Define Style & Objectives
“My style is direct, concise, and authoritative. Stay updated on relevant market developments and hot topics each week. Produce a high-quality blog post, LinkedIn post, and Twitter thread.”
3. Establish Workflow
“Each week, gather market insights, propose the most relevant topic, and draft three content formats. I’ll edit or approve.”
4. Success Metrics
“Engagement (likes, shares, comments), consistency (weekly output), quality (minimal edits), relevance (accurate, timely coverage).”
5. Iterate & Automate
“Over time, extend the AI’s role into research, video, and presentations. Continuously refine prompts and processes as you learn what works.”
Total time took +/-2.5 hours. HLE (Human Labor Equivalent) = 0.5x
Hi!
Just started my Web3 writing here https://beyondthecoin.substack.com/. would love any support, feedback, or tips you have along the way—every little bit helps.
tnx❤️
