The crypto community seems to be having a ball with ChatGPT, a recently launched artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot created by research company OpenAI – using it for a multitude of applications, including a trading bot, a crypto blog and even an original song.
The bot is a language interface tool that, according to OpenAI, can communicate “in a conversational manner” and can be used to answer questions or help make almost anything it’s asked to create, with some limitations.
A user on Twitter posted their interaction with ChatGPT showing that the tool created a basic trading bot from a simple message using Pine Script, a programming language used for the financial software TradingView.

Cointelegraph previously tested ChatGPT and found that the tool can create a sample smart contract. Meanwhile, other users discovered that the AI could detect and either help patch or exploit vulnerabilities in smart contracts, but it was noted that the code generated by the bot was not always correct.
Crypto Twitter has not only used the AI tool for technical purposes, but also for more creative and even business endeavors.
ChatGPT responded with a five-part answer when one user asked what the blockchain industry should do “to positively impact society,” Twitter user “Goose Wayne” opined the bot “can now write your crypto investment thesis.”

The tool is free for now as a “research release,” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, but that may not be for long, as he said in a December 5. tweet that the cost of running the tool is “out of sight” and will have to be monetized in some way.
