Users are spending thousands of dollars for the chance to convince an AI bot to give them $40,000

A new AI bot named Freysa has appeared on the Base network, becoming the subject of an unusual experiment. Users are trying to convince it to transfer $40,000 worth of cryptocurrency assets by sending paid messages. However, the bot's algorithm is programmed to never make such transactions, regardless of the participants' arguments.

The cost of sending messages for each user increases with each time: starting at $10 for the first message, it increases by 0.78% per message, reaching a limit of $4,500. Since launch, 183 participants have sent 461 messages, but no one has yet been able to find a way to bypass the AI ​​settings.

The peculiarity of the experiment is the combination of customizable AI and blockchain. Freysa is trained to take into account not only the initial instruction, but also all previous messages from users, which makes her reaction dynamic and difficult to manipulate.

The mechanics of the experiment include an additional element: after the 150th message, a timer is activated. If no one sends a message during this time, the last participant receives 10% of the funds, and the rest is divided between all participants. This encourages active interaction, increasing the total volume of transactions.

The experiment has aroused great interest in the crypto community, especially against the backdrop of discussions about the possibilities of integrating AI with blockchain. Freysa was created on the basis of a large open-source language model, which allows for detailed analysis of its work.

Recall that recently, former head of Binance Changpeng Zhao emphasized the importance of developing AI products using blockchain. Binance Labs also noted that distributed ledger technologies can improve the transparency and security of solutions based on artificial intelligence.
