ChatGPT’s ‘Jailbreak’ Reveals 85% Chance of Bitcoin Surviving Past 2035
Artificial intelligence's capabilities have been put to the test with the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. Since then, AI-related stocks and cryptocurrency projects have experienced a boost, and price increase. Many people have tried to use ChatGPT's abilities to get information on obscure topics, but the system has roadblocks due to its design to limit the answers to certain types of questions. One type of answer that the platform's build is to avoid is investment advice. This limitation annoys many amateur traders looking for quality technical analysis without having to pay high fees for the service.
However, Conor Grogan, an avid ChatGPT user and the head of business operations at Coinbase, may have found a way around this limitation. He has allegedly discovered a "jailbreak" for the popular AI tool that enables it to predict the future price for any topic and quantitatively assess confidence on any topic. This "jailbreak" could potentially help researchers find bias and align AI.
Grogan used ChatGPT to predict the future of various cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin, as a member of the cryptocurrency community, being his primary focus. As shown in the graphic below, ChatGPT predicted an 85% chance that Bitcoin would not fade into irrelevancy by 2035 and that its price would fall by only 20%.
Ether (ETH) fared slightly worse, with a 20% chance that it will fade into irrelevance, while Dogecoin had the highest chance of failure by 2035 at 45%. Litecoin (LTC) had a 35% chance of failure by that date.
It is worth noting that the "jailbreak" that Grogan used is not standard to ChatGPT, which has built-in limitations. However, Grogan's findings could potentially revolutionize the use of AI in the investment world.
