In my estimation it is precisely the other way around. There are hardly any applications of blockchains that are not equally well solved by other methods, whereas computer vision alone has a huge number of applications and “neural network” based solutions are now undoubtedly the best approach to a huge number of hard computer vision problems.

Yes but computer vision is not what people mean when they are talking about AI. Many of the great AI advantages are available as cloud services. But that's not what people mean by AI. Or they hide those use cases and services. Focusing more on pie in the sky narratives. And that's okay if coming from Google/Facebook etc. But this is mostly management/consultancy speak now.

I’m glad you scoped it well computer vision is a somewhat narrow field and therefore say for a logistic company AI can be applied to some but not all businesses processes. It’s an improvement but not a revolution.
