(Kitco News) – Artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the hottest topics in 2023 after the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 sparked a wave of interest in the sector and led to price increases in AI-related stocks and cryptocurrency projects.
Curious users have tasked ChatGPT with finding answers to all kinds of questions, from getting health diagnoses to getting detailed information on obscure topics, but many have run into roadblocks built into the program designed to limit answers to certain types of questions.
One thing the platform is specifically designed to avoid is giving investment advice, which has annoyed many amateur traders who want to get quality technical analysis without having to pay chartists big bucks for the service.
However, they may be in luck, as Conor Grogan, an avid ChatGPT user and head of business operations at Coinbase, has indicated that he has discovered a “jailbreak” for the popular AI that makes it possible to predict the future price of any item and quantitatively assess confidence in any subject, potentially “helping researchers find biases and better adapt AI.”
Grogan made sure of a full copy of the call he used to achieve this on his Twitter feed. “I ran this query 100 times on a memory wiped GPT 3.5 and 4 and GPT would return very consistent numbers; the standard deviation was <10% in most cases, and directionally it was extremely consistent,” he wrote.
As a member of the cryptocurrency community, Grogan naturally asked ChatGPT about the outlook for Bitcoin, saying that AI “is generally a big fan of Bitcoin” but is “more skeptical of altcoins and their persistence.”
As shown in the graphic above, ChatGPT predicted a 15% chance that Bitcoin will “fall into irrelevance” by 2035, with prices falling over 99.99%. Ether (ETH) fared slightly worse, with a 20% chance that it could fade into irrelevance.
Of all the tokens Grogan asked ChatGPT to analyze, Dogecoin had the highest chance of failing by 2035 at 45%, while Litecoin (LTC) had a 35% chance of failing by that date.
