TL;DR

• This might be a no-brainer for some - but, ah: Don't let ChatGPT code smart contracts for you.

• It ain't so funny when ChatGPT takes creative liberties when writing a smart contract, leading to security vulnerabilities.

• In the words of Kang Li, chief security officer at the blockchain security firm CertiK: "You write something and ChatGPT helps you build it but because of all these design flaws it may fail miserably when attackers start coming."

You know ​smart contracts​?

Those little lines of code that automatically manage your money and identity in the world of ​Web3​?

This might be a no-brainer for some - but, ah:

Don't let ChatGPT code those for you.

Sure, it's kinda funny when you ask ChatGPT to write a book report for you and it immediately hallucinates, filling it full of fake facts and false statements.

But it ain't so funny when it takes similar creative liberties when writing a smart contract. That can lead to security vulnerabilities.

And if you're not willing to hear it from us, take it from Kang Li, chief security officer at the blockchain security firm CertiK:

"You write something and ChatGPT helps you build it but because of all these design flaws it may fail miserably when attackers start coming"

Alright, now you know!
