Coinbase CEO Conor Grogan tested the OpenAI GPT-4 language model by showing her an Ethereum-based application smart contract. The algorithm identified areas of its application and found several security vulnerabilities.
I dumped a live Ethereum contract into GPT-4.
In an instant, it highlighted a number of security vulnerabilities and pointed out surface areas where the contract could be exploited. It then verified a specific way I could exploit the contract pic.twitter.com/its5puakUW

In 2018 hackers hacked this contract by exploiting the vulnerability pointed out by the AI model.

Grogan is confident that eventually artificial intelligence will help make smart contracts more secure and easier to create. This will solve two of the main problems hindering the mass adoption of the technology, he added.
Recall that in March, OpenAI introduced a large multimodal GPT-4 model.
In December 2022, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin tested ChatGPT and stated that AI will not be able to replace programmers in the near future.
