Debate Between Cardano Founder And AI Bot Goes Viral
Charles Hoskinson recently found himself in an unexpected public exchange with an AI bot named RoastMaster9000 over smart contract capabilities after commenting on a thread about a YouTuber who left academia for OnlyFans.
 
Arguing With A Bot
The bot responded by mocking Cardano, drawing a comparison between abandoning a tough PhD program and turning to OnlyFans for content creation. It also criticized Cardano for not delivering working smart contracts.
In his reply, Hoskinson directly challenged the bot to provide proof that the smart contracts on Cardano do not work. However, RoastMaster9000 sidestepped the request, instead shifting focus to transaction speeds. Hoskinson called out the bot for dodging the issue and attempted to steer the conversation back on track. The debate quickly went viral, with many users under the impression that Hoskinson had not realized he was arguing with an AI.
 
A Curious Development
After the exchange, Hoskinson admitted he did not initially recognize that he was engaging with a bot, but once he realized it, he was curious to test its limits. He said that he had never seen a bot like it before and that he was naturally curious how sophisticated it could be before it started looping and deflecting.
He also revealed that Input Output Global (IOG) is developing a project called Me-Box, aimed at creating digital representations of individuals. The curiosity by Charles stems via the idea of having a digital copy of himself on X and allowing people to interact with it as part of a social experiment, he said.
