Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao comments on how ‘lazy’ AI chat bots are in a recent X post, despite his eagerness in exploring AI technology in blockchains.
In a recent post, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao shared his thoughts on artificial intelligence-powered chat bots. The Binance co-founder called them lazy, for only being able to tell him things that he already knew. Instead of educating him on information he does not know.
“The problem with AI Chatbots is that, often, I don’t know what I don’t know. I don’t know what to ask. It would be good if it could just tell me things I should know. So lazy,” wrote CZ in his post.
Many users in the comments section seemed to agree with him, noting how more often than not, AI technology is only as good as the human that controls it.
“True, AI needs human guidance to be truly effective. That’s why I combine AI analysis with human experience and market sentiment from CT. Best of both worlds for better trading decisions,” said one trader in X.
“You can ask exactly that and the Chatbot will ask the question for to to himself,” said another user.
Although the former Binance CEO did not specify which AI chat bot he used, many users began recommending different AI projects to him.
CZ’s relationship with AI technology
After his release from prison in September last year, the former Binance lead has been vocal in his desire to explore AI technology, specifically its uses in the blockchain.
In November, CZ said that artificial-intelligence tagging could be used on-chain, as a way to accelerate the crypto payment process and eliminate unnecessary bias commonly found within human-operated systems.
“AI tagging (or AI data in general) is well fitted to be done on-chain. Harness low cost labor globally without geographic bias, (micro) pay them in crypto instantly,” said CZ.
However, he believes that more tools integrating AI technology need to be built before any real progress can be made.
Even back in April 2024, CZ had reportedly been in ongoing discussions with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as he began to take an interest in AI-focused investments.
In a previous interview, Columbia University computer science professor Ronghui Gu said that Zhao and Altman both “believe that A.I. is going to help a lot in actualizing the development of technology and human knowledge.”
AI technology has only just begun its descent into the crypto sphere. In December, an analysis from Syncracy Capital showed that AI-integrated crypto projects only made up 1% of the crypto market cap. However, the firm expects a 10-fold leap as more AI platforms start appearing.
