i just saw a tweet about someone using ChatGPT to write a smart contract

this is going to be a busy year for me, isn't it

@molly0xfff 2023 is going to go just great.
@molly0xfff oh lol, here we go, this is gonna be good 🍿
@molly0xfff
ChatFTX: garbage all the way down.
@molly0xfff At this point you should just start fleecing them yourself tbh. It's too easy.
@molly0xfff ChatGPT apparently also an “innovation for continued job security” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@molly0xfff You are living in the future. AI driving job security due to human laziness feels like a very futuristic thing.
@molly0xfff I mean, could it do any worse than your average Solidity dev?
@molly0xfff at least some of it will be busy watching hilarity ensue
@molly0xfff but could we use ChatGPT to un-cypher this and lets just add ULA too for some contrast. 🤖
@molly0xfff That’s….. something. I wish there was a word that meant “You have to be joking but I know you’re not and now my soul has died a little.”
@molly0xfff Yes, yes it is, and many of us very much appreciate the work you do. Thank you 🙏
@molly0xfff A practical use for ChatGPT: producing a flood of gibberish articles using current buzzword-of-the-year to accelerate the vanishing of nonsensical fads
@molly0xfff this made me smile… hang in there
@molly0xfff Going to see an entire DAO written off ChatGPT I bet. The clock starts now.
@molly0xfff
holy moly, wHaT cOuLd PoSsiBLy gO wRoNg
@molly0xfff Did something similar to see if it could generate unit tests and, because so much of crypto is open source, it is actually really good

@molly0xfff I'm actually a little bit impressed that crypto/Web3 is managing to be even more efficient at discovering new modes of market failure and faster ways to burn billions of dollars than the American healthcare system.

Impressed, and more than a little bit horrified. I would love to be a fly on the wall when regulators have to deal with an AI-written smart contract. I just don't want to have to be one of those regulators.

@molly0xfff i saw someone saying they were using ChatGPT as a study aid for medical stuff... so um, yes... but also, I think we have bigger problems.
@molly0xfff Is "compound stupid" a thing? Because this sounds like the very definition of that.
@molly0xfff That raises some... interesting legal questions. If we consider ChatGPT as functionally equivalent to a Galton Board, & a smart contract equivalent to a vending machine, does that imply that the intention required for consensus in idem of a contract exists at the training stage of ChatGPT? Or is it more like a coin pusher machine, so the resulting "contract" falls under sponsio ludicra provisions?

@molly0xfff as @georgetakei might say "Oh myyy".

This is not a good idea.

@molly0xfff Seems we’re at the ‘How hard could it be?’ stage. Looks sideways at self driving cars . . .
@molly0xfff Can ChatGPT also tell people how to exploit bugs in the smart contract to get the crypto?
@molly0xfff I plead ignorance here. Are there dumb contracts? Can the "smart" ones cut the cost of lawyers out of the deal?
@shoq @molly0xfff a smart contract is a program on a blockchain that verifies the integrity of a transaction. Essentially an ironclad and immutable agreement for digital transactions.
@molly0xfff
What possibly could go wrong with this?😂
@molly0xfff this is the scariest thing I've ever read.
@molly0xfff If humanity is destroyed in a Skynet kinda way, I think we maybe deserved it.
@molly0xfff well, it certainly won't be boring.
@molly0xfff Hahaha... WOW, will it be a busy year if that kind of thing is happening! 🤣
@molly0xfff … sigh is not a big enough word …
@molly0xfff there are about a million YouTube videos with “How to make $1067/Day with ChatGPT” right now. Sometimes I feel like it would be more profitable to be a content creator than a developer.
@molly0xfff if its anything like the python and powershell it spits out it's gunna be like 96% of the way there great for donkey work but I would never trust it fully. Good luck to you.

@molly0xfff

Chat GPT can write a unit test as well.

@molly0xfff pretty shure some people will scream "don't do it!"...

But then again some people still use #TornadoCash instead of #Monero fo no good reason...

US Sanctions Tornado Cash, But the Blockchain is Ungovernable

@molly0xfff I'm sure they remembered to tell ChatGPT "make it uncrackably secure", so it'll be totally fine!
@molly0xfff
They probably then asked chatgpt if it had confidence in its answer, and it replied yes.
Due diligence applied, signed, sealed, and delivered!
@molly0xfff I'm sure that as a software developer, if I tell enough people on the Internet that I want to make ChatGPT run on the Blockchain so every investor can own a part of it, mint NFT prompts and compute answers on smart contracts, many people will send me money.
Hopefully I'll get a hundred million dollars out of investors, which should be enough for computing 2 to 3 answers on Ethereum 😆
Too bad it'd take more energy than what the entire sun holds to power the pre-training part, though.
