PANews February 20 News, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X platform that extending the feedback loop between humans and artificial intelligence “is not a good thing.” Currently, this trend often leads to AI-generated low-quality content rather than truly solving human practical problems, and even fails to optimize entertainment experiences. Vitalik further warned that once AI develops to a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, this development path could maximize the risk of “irreversible anti-human outcomes,” and even cause regret among the developers themselves. Ethereum’s goal is “to give humans freedom,” not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unchanged or even worsens.
Additionally, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that the current mainstream models run on infrastructure provided by centralized organizations like OpenAI and Anthropic, which is not true “self-sovereignty.” Ignoring this centralized trust assumption is contrary to the principles Ethereum opposes. The trend of exponential technological growth itself is difficult to stop, so the core task of the current era is not to further accelerate exponential expansion but to guide its development direction and prevent systems from slipping into uncontrollable or undesirable “attractor” states.
