AI 🤝 @ProductHunt

[Ashley Higgins @ahiggz]

The Golden Kitty Awards at @ProductHunt are live, and it's been interesting to see some of the changes in trends since last year:

- Web3 went from our top category last yr to #11 this yr.
- AI rose from #7 to #3 -- this mirrors a huge increase in AI on PH toward the end of '22
