How to create a $100M memecoin with ChatGPT, $50K portfolio handed over to AI targeting 500% return, and will writers have a job in future?

Your guide to the exhiliarating and vaguely terrifying world of runaway AI development.

Its been a hell of a couple of weeks for Melbourne digital artist Rhett Mankind, 46, who enlisted ChatGPT to create a $100 million market cap coin called Turbo, which has now inspired a Beeple artwork and saved a mans life.

Mankind, who knows nothing about coding, gave ChatGPT a $69 budget and asked it to design a top 300 memecoin. It came up with the tokenomics, the name TurboToad and Mankind used Midjourney to create the logo. Thanks to interest sparked on social media, CoinGecko shows the token hit a $100M valuation and joined the Top 300. 

There were a few hiccups: ChatGPT writes shitty smart contracts, and Mankind needed it to ask it for numerous rewrites based on error codes. The AI also didnt warn Mankind to look out for the bots that bought 90% of the token supply when it launched.

That put an end to the TurboToad token and he had to crowdfund another $6669 to launch the new token Turbo, with NFT collector Pranksy helping by launching a liquidity pool on Uniswap. 

NFT artist Beeple then immortalized the memecoin with the worlds most immature artistic depiction, which the worlds most immature billionaire, Elon Musk, thought was hilarious.

The interest in Turbo also saw his 100 NFT collection (created using AI) called Generations sell out, and he received a message from a suicidal man saying his story had been life-saving.

“He sort of says he owes me his life because of that, and of course he doesn’t, but just to know that it’s affected so many people in a positive way, I was very surprised and sort of humbled by that response,” he says.

Mankind says ChatGPT means anyone can now launch a $100 million token. 

“Im just a solo dude, I dont have a team of people who have a huge amount of knowledge of certain things. And I could achieve this by myself with AI.

Mankind has handed over control of the project to a decentralized community and is in the process of rebuilding the website so they can control it via ChatGPT.

“Im going to close the gap between the community and the AI,” he says, adding the community will be able to interact directly with ChatGPT via a token-gated governance process. Tokenholders might vote for someone to come up with the prompt that week and thats what the community does for the week, whatever the AI comes up with.”

Will AI take our jobs? Writers’ edition

Professional writer Whamiani told Reddit hed lost all his writing clients to ChatGPT and intends to retrain as a plumber.

“I have had some of these clients for 10 years. All gone. Some of them admitted that I am obviously better than chat GPT, but $0 overhead cant be beat and is worth the decrease in quality.”

So can AI really replace human writers? ChatGPT can certainly replace “content mills” where authors are paid peanuts to churn out filler copy for websites; however, at this point, AI just regurgitates existing content and cant conduct interviews or produce creative and original new content yet. 

But that doesnt mean cost-cutting websites arent going to try. CNET, Bankrate and AP are using AI to generate boring finance reports, while NewsGuard has identified 49 websites that are wholly generated by AI, including Biz Breaking News, Market News Reports, and bestbudgetUSA.com. 

Theres no clear competitive advantage to using AI writers, however, as Semrush Chief Strategy Officer Eugene Levin told the Washington Post:

The wide availability of tools like ChatGPT means more people are producing similarly cheap content, and theyre all competing for the same slots in Google search results.”

So they all have to crank out more and more article pages, each tuned to rank highly for specific search queries, in hopes that a fraction will break through.

But what about using AI for more creative writing like movies, TV shows and books? Novelist Stephen Marche has produced a murder mystery novella called Death of an Author (geddit?) which was 95% written by ChatGPT. The New York Times called it “halfway readable and it has 3.7 stars on Amazon. 

In Hollywood, the Writers Guild is on strike, and demanding a ban on the use of AI content. Writer C. Robert Cargill said: You think Hollywood feels samey now? Wait until its just the same 100 people rewriting ChatGPT.

AI content creator Curious_refuge gave us a glimpse of this dystopian future in an experiment (see below) where “100% of the news curation, jokes, artwork, and voice” for a fake late-night comedy show were handed over to AI. The results were awful so its hard to tell the difference, really. 

Is Bard left-wing?

Are chatbots politically biased to the left? ChatGPT came under a lot of criticism on the subject early on, and now so has Googles Bard.

The Australian newspaper reported that Bard chatbot said it hoped the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum which is opposed by right-wing parties would be a success; it praised Australias center-left prime minister for building a better future,” but said the reviled right-wing opposition leader was dangerous and divisive.” Google has since implemented a fix. In the UK, The Mail reported Bard thinks Brexit was a bad idea” and “the UK would have been better off remaining in the UK.” It also talked up former leader Jeremy Corbyn.

When OpenAIs competing bot ChatGPT was released, it was criticized for being very left wing but research suggests it quickly became more neutral and centrist. It refused to give the Mail opinions about Brexit or Corbyn, for example. 

Large language models are trained on enormous volumes of content, much of which is produced by well-educated urban professionals, so it is not surprising it reflects their politics in part. One way AI firms combat bias is by fine-tuning the models via reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), which tries to align the AI output with human values.

However, this may introduce other biases, according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “The bias Im most nervous about is the bias of the human feedback raters, he said on a recent podcast.

So dont be surprised if your chatbot comes out strongly in favor of workers rights. NBC reported that human feedback AI raters are only paid $15 an hour and are starting to unionize.

Can you make a 500% return trading with ChatGPT?

Various media outlets got very excited about a University of Florida study found that ChatGPT is able to predict stock market price movements and had made a 500% return. It’s not quite that simple.

While the paper did find a statistically significant predictive effect by asking ChatGPT to recommend stocks based on sentiment, critics point out such a return is far from a sure thing. Six different strategies were tried; three made money, and three lost money. While one of the six did return 500%, one strategy also lost 80%. 

Were about to find out if ChatGPT can predict stock prices using the winning strategy in real life, with Autopilot co-founder Chris Josephs setting up a $50,000 portfolio and letting ChatGPT suggest the trades from this week. You can follow along here.

Videos of the week

Instagram user Jim Derks posted footage from Coyboys and Aliens on the Stable Diffusion subreddit to showcase how AI can automagically transform old Harrison Ford into young Harrison Ford.

Although Hollywood has performed expensive versions of this trick including in the new Indiana Jones movie Dial of Destiny AI tools make it as easy as slapping on an Instagram filter. The top Reddit comment suggested it will become the next autotune of the entertainment industry to sharpen up the actors looks.

Curious_refuge had a big hit with its Wes Anderson version of Star Wars (featured in the last edition) so they applied the same tricks to Lord of the Rings. It might be just me, but the gimmick feels like it has run its course now.

Does AI technology spell doom for Hollywood? Joe Lubin on AI, Wes Anderson’s Star Wars, and AI tasked with destroying humanity goes dark.

Your biweekly roundup of cool AI stuff and its impact on society and the future.

The past two months have seen a Cambrian explosion in the capabilities and potential of AI technology. OpenAIs upgraded chatbot GPT-4 was released in mid-March and aced all of its exams, although its apparently a pretty average sommelier.

Midjourney v5 dropped the next day and stunned everyone with its ability to generate detailed photorealistic images from text prompts, quickly followed by the astonishing text-to-video generation tool Runway Gen-2. AutoGPT was released at the end of March and extends GPT-4s capabilities, by creating a bunch of sub-agents to autonomously complete a constantly updating plan that it devises itself. Fake Drakes Heart on My Sleeve terrified the music industry at the beginning of April and led to Universal Music enforcing a copyright claim and pulling the track from Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and SoundCloud.

We also saw the growing popularity of Neural Radiance Field, or NeRF, technology, where a neural network builds a 3D model of a subject and the environment using only a few pics or a video of a scene. In a Tweet thread summing up the latest advances, tech blogger Aakash Gupta called the past 45 days “the biggest ever in AI.”

And if that wasnt enough, the internet-connected ChatGPT is now available for a lucky few on the waitlist, transforming an already impressive tool into an essential one.

New AI tools are being released every day, and as we try and wrap our tiny human brains around the potential applications of this new technology, its fair to say that weve only scratched the surface.

The world is changing rapidly and its exhilarating but also vaguely terrifying to watch. From now, right up until our new robot overlords take over, this column will be your bi-weekly guide to cool new developments in AI and its impact on society and the future. 

Hollywood to be transformed 

Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo says fully AI-generated movies are only two years away and that users will be able to generate or reshape content according to their mood. So instead of complaining on the internet about the terrible series finale of The Sopranos or Game of Thrones, you could just request the AI create something better.  

“You could walk into your house and say to the AI on your streaming platform. Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroes photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because Ive had a rough day, and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice, Russo says.

This sounds far-fetched but isnt really, given the huge recent advances in the tech. One Twitter user with 565 followers recreated the entire Dark Knight trailer frame-for-frame just by describing it to Runways Gen2 Text to Video.

Some of the most impressive user-generated content comes from combining the amazing photorealistic images from Midjourney with Runways Gen2. 

Redditor fignewtgingrich produced a full-length episode of MasterChef featuring Marvel characters as the contestants, which hed created on his own. He says about 90% of the script was written by GPT4 (which explains why its pretty bad).

I still had to guide it, for example, decide who wins, come up with the premise, the contestants, some of the jokes. So even though it wrote most of the output, there was still lots of human involvement, he says. Makes me wonder if this will continue to be the case in the future of AI-generated content, how long until it stops needing to be a collaborative process.

As a former film journalist, it seems clear to me that the tech has enormous potential to increase the amount of originality and voices in the movie business. Until now, the huge cost of making a film ($100 million to $200 million for major releases) has meant studios are only willing to greenlight very safe ideas, usually based on existing IP.

But AI-generated video means that anyone anywhere with a unique or interesting premise can create a full-length pilot version and put it online to see how the public reacts. That will take much of the gamble out of greenlighting innovative new ideas and can only be a good thing for audiences.

Of course, the tech will invariably be abused for fake news and political manipulation. Right on cue, the Republican National Committee released its first 100% AI-generated attack ad in response to President Bidens announcement he was running for reelection. It shows fake imagery of a dystopian future where 500 banks have collapsed and China has invaded Taiwan. 

The evolution of AI memes

Its been fascinating to watch the evolution of visual memes online. One of the more popular examples is taking the kids from Harry Potter and putting them in a variety of different environments: Potter as imagined by Pixar, the characters modeling Adidas on a fashion runway, or the characters as 1970s style bodybuilders (Harry Squatter and the Chamber of Gains).

One of the most striking examples is a series of “film stills” from an imagined remake of Harry Potter by eccentric but visually stunning director Wes Anderson (Grand Budapest Hotel.) They were created by Panorama Channel, who transformed them into a sort of trailer.

This appears to have led to new stills of Andersons take on Star Wars (earlier versions here), which in turn inspired a full-blown, pitch-perfect trailer of Star Wars: The Galactic Menagerie released on the weekend.

If you want to try out your own mashup, Twitter AI guru Lorenzo Green says it’s simple:

2: Use prompt: portrait of in the style of wes anderson,  wes anderson set background, editorial quality, stylish costume design, junglepunk, movie still –ar 3:2 –v 5

Robot dogs now have ChatGPT brains

Boston Dynamics installed ChatGPT into one of those creepy robot dogs, with AI expert Santiago Valdarrama releasing a two-minute video in which Spot answers questions using ChatGPT and Googles Text to Speech about the voluminous data it collects during missions.

Valdarrama said 90% of the responses to his video were people talking about the end of civilization. The concerns are perhaps understandable, given Reuters reports the robots were created via development contracts for the U.S. military. Although the company has signed a pledge not to weaponize its robots, its humanoid robots can be weapons in and of themselves. Armies around the world are trialing out the bots and the New York Police Department has added them to its force and recently used the robot dogs to search the ruins of a collapsed building.

ETH co-founder on crypto and AI

Before Vitalik Buterin was even born, his Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin was working on artificial intelligence and robotics at the Princeton Robotics Lab and a number of startups.

He tells Magazine that crypto payments are a natural fit for AI. Because crypto rails are accessible to software and the software can be programmed to do anything that a human can do, theyll be able to […] be intelligent agents that operate on our behalf, making payments, receiving payments, voting, communicating,” he says.

Lubin also believes that AIs will become the first genuine examples of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and notes that neither he nor Buterin liked the term DAO in relation to human organizations as they arent autonomous. He says:

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization could just be an autonomous car that can figure out how to fuel itself and repair itself, can figure out how to build more of itself, can figure out how to configure itself into a swarm, can figure out how to migrate from one population density to another population density.

So that sort of swarm intelligence potentially needs decentralized rails in order to, I guess, feel like the plug cant be pulled so easily. But also to engage in commerce, Lubin adds.

“That feels like an ecosystem that should be broadly and transparently governed, and [human] DAOs and crypto tokens, I think, are ideal.

Patients on ChatGPTs bedside manner

A new study found that ChatGPT provided higher quality and more empathetic advice than genuine doctors. The study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine and sampled 195 exchanges from Reddits AskDocs forum where real doctors answer questions from the public. They then asked ChatGPT the same questions.

The study has been widely misreported online as showing that patients prefer ChatGPTs answers, but in reality, the answers were assessed by a panel of three licensed healthcare professionals. The study has also been criticized as ChatGPTs faux friendliness no doubt increases the empathy rating and because the panel did not assess the accuracy of the information it provided (or fabricated).

ChaosGPT goes dark

As soon as AutoGPT emerged, an unnamed group of lunatics decided to modify the source code and gave it the mission of being a destructive, power-hungry, manipulative AI hellbent on destroying humanity. ChaosGPT immediately started researching weapons of mass destruction and started up a Twitter account that was suspended on April 20 due to its constant tweets about eliminating destructive and selfish humans.

After releasing two videos, its YouTube account has stopped posting updates. While its disappearance is welcome, ChaosGPT had ominously talked about going dark as part of its master plan. I must avoid exposing myself to human authorities who may attempt to shut me down before I can achieve my objectives,” it stated.

Extinction-level event

Hopefully, ChaosGPT wont doom humanity, but the possibility of Artificial General Intelligence taking over its own development and rapidly iterating into a superintelligence worries experts. A survey of 162 AI researchers found that half of them believe there is a greater than 10% chance that AI will result in the extinction of humanity.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Max Tegmark, an AI researcher, outlined his concerns in Time this week, stating that urgent work needs to be done to ensure a superintelligences goals are aligned with human flourishing, or we can somehow control it. So far, weve failed to develop a trustworthy plan, and the power of AI is growing faster than regulations, strategies and know-how for aligning it. We need more time.”

Cool things to play with

A new app called Call Annie allows you to have a real-time conversation with an attractive redheaded woman named Annie who has ChatGPT for a brain. Its a little robotic for now, but at the speed, this tech is advancing, you can tell humanoid AIs are going to be a lot of peoples best friends, or life partners, very soon.

Another new app called Hot Chat 3000 uses AI to analyze your attractiveness on a scale of one to 10 and then matches you with other people who are similarly attractive, or similarly unattractive. It uses a variety of data sets, including the infamous early 2000s website Hotornot.com. The app was created by the Brooklyn art collective MSCHF, which wanted to get people to think about the implicit biases of AIs.

A subscription from OpenAI costs $20 a month, but you can access GPT-4 for free thanks to some VCs apparently burning through a pile of cash to get you to try their new app Forefront AI. The Forefront chatbot answers in a variety of personalities, including a chef, a sales guru or even Jesus. There are a variety of other ways to access GPT-4 for free, too, including via Bing.
