Turbo, a ChatGPT-generated memecoin, now has over $600 million in market capitalization.

Digital artist Rhett Mankind, the creator of TURBO, utilized GPT-4 to create the coin with a budget of only $69. The memecoin is decentralized and does not see any involvement from Mankind. 

 “Everything I’ve done is to try and just make it decentralized. So I’m not in control,” wrote Mankind. “And I think that’s where the beauty of this came from. It sort of blew up because I’m not running things.”

Mankind used AI to write the Turbo community’s tokenomics, whitepaper, and smart contract code.
