Chapter 15When HAL Meets Satoshi: Merging Minds and Money on the Blockchain
Preface
Imagine a world where your computer not only talks back but also trades Bitcoin while brewing your morning coffee. That’s right, we’re diving headfirst into the enchanting chaos where artificial intelligence meets blockchain—the peanut butter and jelly of the tech world, if peanut butter could analyze vast datasets and jelly could decentralize finance.
In this whirlwind tour, we’ll explore how AI is not just about robots dreaming of electric sheep but about machines dreaming up ways to manage your digital wallet.
Ah, OpenAI and its prodigious offspring, ChatGPT—where to begin? Over the last few months, these clever creations have been adopted faster than kittens in a viral internet video. ChatGPT, in particular, has spread through tech circles and beyond with the zeal of a Silicon Valley startup guru preaching the blockchain gospel at a TED Talk. ChatGPT has been hailed as the next big thing—so much so that you might expect it to start its own podcast any day now.
Yet, for all its prowess, ChatGPT has also shown a quirky side, occasionally producing responses that are as bewildering as finding a Wi-Fi signal in the middle of a desert. As we chuckle over its faux pas and marvel at its insights, it’s clear that ChatGPT isn’t just a tool; it’s become a cultural phenomenon, teaching us as much about the quirks of artificial intelligence as about our own expectations of technology.
