GPT-4 is here. Can it disrupt Web3?
The development advantages of Web3+AI and related emerging Alpha projects.Written by: veDAO Research Institute
The most fervently discussed topic on the internet recently is undoubtedly the release of OpenAI's GPT-4 version, and how powerful GPT-4 is considered to be, even believed to disrupt the current traditional work patterns and bring immeasurable growth opportunities to the Web3 world. As of now, according to Coingecko data, the entire AI sector has included 31 related projects, with a total market capitalization reaching $1,858,975,208.
Regarding the significance of GPT's emergence and the combination of the AI ecosystem represented by GPT and Web3, the veDAO Research Institute also holds an optimistic view. Combining the current industry development status, we will explain the development advantages of Web3+AI and related emerging Alpha projects, to provide everyone with a clearer understanding of this track.
What You Need to Know About GPT-4
While we are still immersed in the charm of ChatGPT, on the early morning of March 15, OpenAI released the multimodal pre-trained large model GPT-4.
Compared to the previous GPT-3.5 version, GPT-4 has achieved several leaps in the following aspects: powerful image recognition capabilities; text input limit increased to 25,000 words; significantly improved accuracy of answers; ability to generate lyrics and creative text, achieving style variations.
This may sound a bit abstract, but overall, GPT-4, which is still in the application stage, can achieve the following functions:

Integrate into Web3 Games for NPC Dialogue Systems, etc.
The Most Important Advantages
In addition to the numerous advantages mentioned above, the veDAO Research Institute believes that the greatest iteration brought by GPT-4 lies in its ability to recognize images and simulate emotions and tones. Compared to ChatGPT, which can only generate text responses by inputting text questions, GPT-4 can interact with images input by users. In demonstration cases, GPT-4 described in detail the webpage screenshot sent to it by Brockman, even accurately describing the content of the center, left, and right sides of the screenshot.
More importantly, GPT-4 allows users to choose the role it plays. On the left side of the AI chat interface demonstrated by GPT-4, there is a "system" option where users can specify the background settings for GPT-4, assigning it identities such as "programmer" or "consultant." Interestingly, different identity settings will also lead to different emphases in GPT-4's responses.
We have reason to believe that the upcoming GPT-5, expected to launch by the end of this year, will bring users a richer "simulated emotional color," much like "Jarvis" from Iron Man, or become a closer companion to users. In the long run, this will endow the concept of AI with more social significance.
The reason we emphasize GPT-4's image recognition and emotional simulation capabilities is that the veDAO Research Institute believes that "the ability to accept richer information inputs and provide richer information output methods" is, in the long run, an essential element pursued by the concept of the "metaverse." The current concept of the metaverse has been hot but has never landed due to the virtual world being too rudimentary and difficult to understand the complex information comprehension abilities of real users. The introduction of AI means that the attraction and emotional stickiness of the virtual world to users in the real world will increase rapidly. When a sufficient number of users form a path dependency on the metaverse and the virtual world, exercising the right to mint (Crypto) based on the virtual world will have real significance.
Therefore, we can make a hypothesis: the maturity of AI → the establishment of the metaverse concept → the widespread recognition of the Crypto concept in reality. The above is the long-term significance derived from GPT-4. Based on the present, the maturity of the AI concept will bring tremendous gains to the Web3 world. Currently, AI has points of intersection in typical application directions of Web3 such as DeFi, blockchain games, NFTs, DAOs, and smart contracts. Furthermore, the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain can indeed bring about safer, more transparent, and more efficient systems, with considerable development prospects.
Among the many points of intersection mentioned above, based on the long-term significance of the metaverse logic, it appears that AI in the blockchain gaming and NFT tracks may yield results the earliest. Therefore, the veDAO Research Institute has listed some representative "Web3+AI" blockchain gaming Alpha projects for everyone's reference.

Delysium is a AAA-level open-world MMO Web3 game based on AI technology, similar to a cyberpunk version of a battle royale game. Compared to the currently dominant turn-based strategy games or collectible card games on the market, Delysium emphasizes a diversified open-world MMORPG experience, including AI-driven AI MetaBeing gameplay that pushes the Web3 gaming industry into the next stage. AI Metabeings can handle daily affairs just like humans and can be divided into two parts: dialogue and decision-making.
The dialogue part consists mainly of conversation, behavior, and natural language processing (NLP) modules. The decision-making part shares the same technical essence as AlphaGo's deep reinforcement learning technology, allowing all NPCs in the game to have their own brains without any scripts or behavior trees.
As users provide certain settings to these AI Metabeings, they generate a certain level of intelligent consciousness, forming unique behaviors and personalities. Depending on players' choices, the game will dynamically and personally generate storylines, with NPCs responding in real-time, truly achieving the effect of "thousands of faces for thousands of people."
