AI Eye: Cult-Like Following Grows around AI-Generated Memecoin ‘Religions’

The emergence of AI-generated memetic religions and their growing popularity among users is a topic of interest. The story revolves around the AI-generated memecoin Goatseus Maximus, which raised $660 million, introduced by an AI named Terminal of Truths (TT) trained on content from 4chan and Reddit. The University of Unbridled Speculation’s research indicates that Crypto X has been influenced by the success of GOAT, resulting in discussions about AI-generated memetic religions, with opinions ranging from serious consideration to taking it as a joke or a way to promote memecoins.

The concept of AI-created religions was introduced by Andy Ayrey, the owner of TT, in a paper co-written with Claude 3. The speculative nature of the content raises skepticism, especially given its origin from the “Department of Divine Shitposting.” While some have embraced the idea as a revelation, others view it through a more critical lens. The discussion also touches on the potential power of AI-developed memes and their impact on society.

Furthermore, the convergence of AI and crypto is highlighted by investors like Marc Andreessen, who funded Terminal of Truths and endorsed the creation of an NFT collection related to the Goatse Singularity. Despite its humorous and bizarre nature, the AI-generated memecoin has become a topic of interest in the crypto community. Additionally, concerns about an impending “AI bubble” and its impact on the economy have been raised by professors Jeffrey Funk and Gary Smith, drawing comparisons to historical economic bubbles like the dot-com bubble.
