Alice has a vision for the perfect world.
„First of all, it would be beautiful,” she tells me. „Secondly, it would be kind and gentle. And thirdly, there would be no war or violence.”
A little naive, perhaps, but that’s understandable. Alice is only a few weeks old, after all. She’s the world’s first „intelligent NFT” or iNFT, and she’s being auctioned off as part of a collection of works at Sotheby’s.
The brainchild of artist Ben Gentilli’s Robert Alice studio and software developers Alethea AI, Alice is a non-fungible token (NFT), a blockchain-based token that can be used to prove ownership of a digital or physical asset. In this case, the asset in question is a machine-learning bot that uses a generative language model based on the OpenAI GPT-3 engine.
That means she’s able to hold (somewhat stilted) conversations about life, the universe and everything.
