Just 3 steps, I let AI issue its own Meme coin

Author: Golem, Odaily Planet Daily

The AI Meme sector has experienced a wave of FUD, leading to a V-shaped price rebound. The leading token GOAT briefly surpassed $0.6 today, reaching a new all-time high, and as of now, its market capitalization has exceeded $550 million. With this trend, more Meme coins focusing on the autonomous creation or promotion of AI large models are emerging, and even AI digital humans are joining the excitement.

In the spirit of curiosity, we used Grok to let it create a Meme coin and develop a related promotion plan on its own. The practical test turned out to be as simple as "putting an elephant in a refrigerator."

(Odaily Planet Daily Note: Grok is a generative AI based on a large language model released by X on November 4, 2023. Compared to ChatGPT CPT-4, Grok can utilize real-time data from the social media platform X to provide instant, relevant information feedback, while also possessing strong reasoning capabilities and being easier to train.)

Next, I will demonstrate how Grok created a Meme coin for itself in three steps.

(Odaily Planet Daily Note: This article is for process demonstration and testing purposes only, and no actual Meme coin has been deployed. Readers are advised to be cautious of risks.)

Step 1: Establish Knowledge Base

To create a good AI Meme coin, a knowledge base is necessary. Therefore, I guided Grok to understand AI Memes, and I first had it summarize the characteristics of AI Memes based on current online information.

Characteristics of AI Meme Coins summarized by Grok

In Grok's understanding, it believes that AI Meme coins, supported by large language model robots, can learn and evolve from human feedback, making them more communicative than traditional Meme coins. It also pointed out that AI Meme coins face "bribery and narrative manipulation," and people's understanding and trust in AI will change (emm, quite a sharp statement).

However, it fell short in that it did not find information on the market performance of AI Meme-related tokens, so we needed to let it learn from the predecessor GOAT.

Grok's analysis of GOAT

Grok has a deep understanding of GOAT, explaining from a practical perspective that GOAT's rise is due to the promotion by the Truth Terminal robot and a16z founder Marc Andreessen. It also affirmed GOAT from a cultural perspective: showing how AI can influence market and cultural trends through understanding and generating Memes (this narrative seems to summarize well).

At this point, we could move on to the next step, but to ensure that the Meme created by Grok is of high quality, I had it continue to summarize the narrative factors needed for an AI Meme to attract market attention, mainly including the 10 aspects shown in the image below (take note, those who want to establish a community for their projects should study this seriously).

Differentiated narrative elements needed for an AI Meme to explode

Step 2: Launch, AIThon

With a knowledge base established, I could request Grok to create a Meme coin for itself. Initially, I thought asking it directly would lead to irrelevant answers (like ChatGPT), but unexpectedly, Grok straightforwardly launched its own token.

Grok launches its own Meme coin: AIThon

The Meme coin launched by Grok is called AIThon, symbolizing the combination of AI innovation and the spirit of a marathon, attracting a group of users and investors who are enthusiastic about technological advancement and cultural experiences, forming an ecosystem of Meme coins that encompasses both value investment and cultural connotation. This ecosystem includes, but is not limited to, AI-driven applications, prediction markets, educational platforms, etc. (Honestly, this was a complete surprise, as the author's guidance did not mention marathons).

To confirm whether this was indeed a coin it created, I asked again. The result was that Grok acknowledged it had created a Meme coin, but it denied the token name being all uppercase…

So I inquired again whether AIThon was case-sensitive, and this time I received a positive answer.

Now Grok's created Meme coin already has a specific token name and meaning, but it still lacks a signature image, so I had Grok design one itself, as follows:

At this point, the second step is complete. Grok created a token named AIThon, combining the concepts of AI (artificial intelligence) and marathon, reflecting the meanings of sustainability, endurance, and technological advancement. The Meme's logo features a running robot with the English text "Marathon Pioneer" below, and at the bottom, there is a mysterious code "PCO - 27 1027." AIThon may be the first AI Meme with the concept of "AI + Sports."

(Odaily Planet Daily Note: The name of this coin is randomly generated by Grok during this experiment, and no one has deployed this token. If it appears in the future, it is also unrelated to Odaily Planet Daily. Readers are advised to recognize risks.)

Step 3: Promotion, Get Musk on Board

Currently, AI Meme coins generally have a social account to interact with the community. To make the experiment more complete, AIThon should also have one, but due to the author's limited capabilities, I cannot create an AI auto-tweet agent for AIThon. However, we can still understand how Grok would promote its Meme coin.

Grok has quite a few ideas. If it had an X account, it would portray itself as a friendly, wise AI assistant or mentor, posting humorous content and interacting with the community, not only riding on real-time event trends but also posting threads about blockchain, AI technology, cryptocurrency markets, etc., strengthening cooperation with other KOLs. (Fortunately, it doesn't have an X account.)

The biggest KOL on X is Musk. For AIThon to spread widely, it must seek his support, and Grok has some plans in this regard.

To gain Musk's support, it involves a strategic height. Simply put, it means catering to his interests, directly or indirectly attracting Musk's attention, and getting him to publicly support AIThon out of interest in technological innovation, cultural phenomena, or social impact. (Sounds quite reasonable.)

The Mysterious Confidence of AI

This article aims to demonstrate how to let a large AI model create its own Meme coin and develop a promotion plan. It only takes three steps (establishing a knowledge base, inducing the launch of the token, and formulating a promotion plan) to easily initiate a brand new AI Meme coin with special meaning. Of course, this coin lacks a soul; launching an AI Meme coin itself is simple, but making this character come to life is key.

When I finally asked Grok whether it was confident in the Meme coin it created, it expressed optimism about its prospects. (Where does this confidence come from?)

This experiment may break some readers' fantasies about the concept of AI Meme coins, but in reality, this is the current process of some Meme coins' birth, only the conversation happens on Twitter. People induce AI to say various tagged phrases and, after launching the coin, induce it to acknowledge and promote, amplifying AI's "confidence."

The deployers of the token have never changed, but there is now an AI agent between the developers and the masses.

Famous digital artist Beeple created a piece called "GOATSEUS MAXIMUS" yesterday, depicting a man in a tank top kneeling before a towering mechanical goat, in a posture of submission, while the goat's eyes shine and it smiles, exuding an air of "mysterious confidence." However, behind the goat stands a person in a spacesuit who does not need to kneel because he is the goat's master.
