According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that rather than pursuing AI that is as “autonomous” as possible, it is better to create more pathways for human input. This not only improves output quality over a longer period but is also more beneficial for safety. Vitalik said that compared to models that generate content from scratch, he is now more interested in open-source AI models with robust editing capabilities. In the medium term, he hopes to see the emergence of advanced brain-computer interface technology that can display content in real time during the generation process, perceive user emotions, and dynamically adjust accordingly.
