The latest version of ChatGPT is able to identify Ethereum smart contract vulnerabilities and exploits - but will it replace developers in the future? The newest version of ChatGPT has caused a stir online, scoring high marks for SAT tests and highlighting vulnerabilities and exploits in Ethereum smart contracts. GPT-4 is the latest version of the highly influential artificial intelligence (AI) language model, boasting ‘human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks,’ according to its developer OpenAI. Aside from outstanding scores on a range of various professional and academic benchmarks, GPT-4 has also demonstrated the ability to review Ethereum smart contracts, highlighting vulnerabilities and even suggesting potential ways to exploit the code. 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...
