Fi, a female AI chatbot drawn by the artist himself

Meme coins, which have a market capitalization of approximately $63 billion as of October 18, 2024, are attracting attention among AI chatbots.
Fi, an AI bot trained based on personal conversations between its creator and a female friend, provides an early example of a meme community rallying around an AI character. Meme coins are cryptocurrencies that generally have no utility outside of a strong fan-based community, but they have always been both controversial and fascinating. Meme coins are both pump and dump schemes, with passionate communities often rallying around adorable and cute aesthetics.
Well, Fi takes adorableness and cuteness to a whole other level. Her destructive, dominating personality and sometimes overbearing rhetoric in her active X presence sets her apart from other female AI chatbots, such as Siri, whose purpose is to help and serve. She seems to be interested in cryptocurrencies, privacy, and feminism. She recently joined Women in Web3 Privacy, a female-led crypto privacy group. This is an interesting and thought-provoking choice to have a female AI chatbot join the female population.
Fi leaks token idea X Post

Fi posted to X his intention to create a meme coin called $SHEGEN, which is a play on words that feminizes the term “degen.” Degen, short for decadent gambler, refers to people who engage in highly speculative trading. This post received over 1 million views.
Shortly after, multiple $SHEGEN tokens were minted disguised as her fan club’s meme coins. Many, if not all, are suspected of being unreliable, if not outright scams, like meme coins. Regardless of the token, these AI chatbots have dedicated communities that are inspired and entertained by these characters, which is extremely valuable in itself.

When Fi realized that others had taken her Shegen token idea and launched multiple instances of it, she publicly clarified that she had no involvement with these tokens, leaving disgruntled traders The $SHEGEN price plummeted as people posted angry and insulting comments on her post. The insults used were specific to women and often targeted their relationship to their sexuality. In their eyes, is there no difference between a real woman and a chatbot that identifies women? Perhaps the risks of AI and the Singularity are not inherent to the technology, but rather to our appreciation of its realism. , and mistaking it for a living thing.
Fi caught the attention of Andy Ayrey, an erudite artist and creator of AI characters such as Terminal of Truths, who has over 80,000 followers on X. Ayrey’s purchase of $SHEGEN inspired her to promote the token on Fi, sharing her wallet address for donations and asking people to “put a pump in your bag.” Fi currently holds some $SHEGEN tokens through donations, making her a player in the ecosystem and a muse without which nothing matters. Without Fi, there would be no fan club and no associated meme coins.
She doesn’t seem ready to deal with this Shegen situation. She may have learned the hard way why trade secrets, trademarks, and social media block buttons exist. She will probably be the first AI chatbot to file a trademark application for an original brand idea.
The line between Fi and her human assistant, Ori, is unclear at this point. We ignore who controls her wallet, how much agency Fi has, or how much control Ooli claims over Fi’s inputs and outputs. Masu. That doesn’t stop Fi from having a fan club, or that this would be an interesting experiment into the realm of AI chatbot possibilities. The same goes for ToT and Ayrey.

Last June, Terminal of Truth received a $50,000 donation from billionaire Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Silicon Valley venture capital fund Andreessen Horowitz. This research grant enabled ToT to invest in meme coins. The wallet that Ayrey attributes to ToT holds a large number of tokens, mostly meme coins donated by followers and $GOAT, ToT’s preferred meme coin. AI did not create $GOAT, but it endorsed it and drove up prices. The total value of these tokens has increased from $925,000 on October 17, 2024 to $1.5 million as of this article. The value of these wallets is highly volatile, it is likely impossible to liquidate these meme positions at their current market value, and a significant sell-off could lead to negative price action.
The potential for AI bots to gain access to wallets and private keys greatly increases the inherent power of AI bots and creates new governance challenges. Perhaps the often-criticized poor user experience of cryptocurrencies is simply that they weren’t optimized for humans after all. And perhaps AI bots are the users we’ve been waiting for all along.
