- The bot can buy NFTs, transfer SOL tokens, and check users’ wallet balances
- Solana should focus on developing a “working block explorer"
- New privacy feature lets users delete their history on ChatGPT
Solana announced that its users would soon be able to interact with the blockchain via a ChatGPT-enabled open-source plugin, which will let the bot buy NFTs, transfer SOL tokens, and check users’ wallet balances, CoinTelegraph reported, citing a tweet by Solana Labs.
Questionable benefits and other issues
The development isn’t to everyone’s liking. One Twitter user asked what benefit the integration would bring, if any, while another insisted Solana focus on developing a “working block explorer” first, including to make itself investment-worthier.
Apparently, Solana Labs is shifting its attention to AI. Yesterday, they announced a plan to invest $1 million in projects developing AI tools on Solana.
How will it work?
ChatGPT can retrieve a list of NFTs that a certain Solana address holds. The address shares an attached metadata link, probably from Solana Labs’ block explorer. Solana did not specify when the plugin would be launched.
New privacy feature lets users delete chat history
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, introduced a privacy feature that lets users turn off their chat history. This aims to give users greater control over their data. The company assured they would not use chats that had begun when the history was disabled to improve its models. They won’t appear in the history sidebar as they do now.
OpenAI also said users could find the feature in ChatGPT’s settings and adjust these at any time.
Deleted chats retained for a month
The creator of the AI bot added that they would store deleted conversations for 30 days in order to check for any abusive material. If none is detected, the chats will be deleted permanently.
OpenAI has given users a new “export” option to download their data.
ChatGPT is banned in 7 countries
Recently, Italy joined the list of countries that have banned ChatGPT, which includes Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and Syria. According to the Italian government, the bot does not comply with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, other EU members have yet to follow suit.
