Conclusion​

The PIVX AI Assistant represents a significant step forward in enhancing user experiencepromoting community participationand solidifying PIVX’s position as a leader in privacy-focused blockchain technology.

My biggest problem with this is that Telegram is really not used by many PIVians. 90% of the posts on Telegram are scammers or spam! The largest activity on TG is the 3 or 4 moderators cleaning it up. Another 5% is cloned from PIVX News and another 4% is someone reaching out for some collaborationfake exchange offeringor partnershipetc.

With that saidI find it hard to see the benefit to PIVX.

Thank you for your feedback.
We can build the bot to run on Discord or as a web-based solutionbut we believe there is significant potential on Telegramit can help attract more real users and increase awareness about PIVX.

Hello,

Are you in either of the 2 PIVX Discord servers? Trust is a big factor in the success of a proposal receiving funding. Best to become part of the Community - at least a little bit - and start with a small scope proposal.

Your write-up defines 2 Phases in one spotand in another defines 3 Phases.

Our Labs Team is WELL versed with AIand has already integrated it into our Discord servers. Soin my mindPhase 1 (The 'Demo' version') is a waste. We are already completely sold on what AI can do. Plus we have the skills in-house to implement what you propose. Having said thatI am not understanding Phase 2. That seems to simply use the current data we already have organized in our docs and explorers. Againif there was significant value added with that functionalityour Labs Team would implement it. I just asked our AI a test 'support' question and it was instantly answered well. For Phase 3I do not see any value added. If a proposal needs a summarythen the proposal author needs to improve their presentation.

Given the abovethis proposal does not have my support.

Good luck!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.
We believe the labs team has extensive experience and can build all kinds of applicationswhether related to AI or not. Howeversuccess ultimately depends on the idea and how it can provide value.
But in general if the Labs team takes on all the ideas and functionalitiesit may limit opportunities for others to participate in PIVX.

We presented the proposal for discussion to gather feedback and are open to adding features the community finds valuablesuch as a notification system or other useful enhancements.
The demo version is intended to showcase our capabilities as we still new here. We have not requested any upfront fundingas all funding will occur only after the bot is built and tested according to the milestones.
Regarding the phase 3we consider it crucial to simplify the governance process for the average user. This feature is already implemented in several major projects and has proven to be successful.

Please provide links/examples. I would love to review them.

FYI: A simple conversation with the AI bot in PIVX Labs Discord:

Alternativelygrowing the Labs team (adding you to the roster) would grow said opportunitiesand we're always open to it!
(AndPIVX Labs is not about limiting opportunitiesbut granting them: we simplify working in the PIVX ecosystem by undertaking the vetting processproposal processas well as tight control of workflows and scheduling - which many devs unfamiliar with DAOs find easier due to lower stress levelsthus opening PIVX to a wider base of workforce. )

Howeverwe would need to see far more practical workas well as source code written by you in day-to-day workfor this to be possible.

AI is called the current "grifter market" for good reasonit is incredibly easy to write a ChatGPT wrapper that performs simple tasks with simple tooling (and in all fairnessPIVi is exactly that).

As it stands$15,000 for thisin my opinionis the definition of grifting. Unless I can be objectively proven wrongI have extreme doubts about this proposaland not only from a technical or data-driven perspectivewhich for AIwe have plenty of data on from the last 2 years of experiments and projects - alsothe majority of the 'planned' features written in this proposalalready exist in a demo form with PIVias Eric and myself demonstrated (and yeswe even have Governance Proposal review integration with the forum!).

The accusation that we are grifters is both shocking and unacceptable.
We have not stolen from anyonenor have we taken money without delivering value.
We submitted a proposal with a budget (which isof coursenegotiable). If the proposal or budget does not meet your expectationsyou are free to respectfully decline—nothing morenothing less.
We did not coerce anyone into accepting the proposal or the budget.

You are well aware that some developers charge $20 per hourwhile others charge $100. In your opiniondoes charging $100 make someone a scammer?
Additionallysince you are using ChatGPT in the PIVI botyou must understand that there are costs associated with Tokens and various other expenses. Thereforepart of the requested funding is allocated to these needs and not solely for personal gain.

In any casesince you already have a bot we are withdrawing the proposal.
We wish you the best of luck and thank you for your approach!!

Your over-reaction to an observation and opinion speaks a lot to me.

Nor did I say that. I said"As it stands$15,000 for thisin my opinionis the definition of grifting...", which is a comment on the proposal's current value in the context of a market which isvery largelyfull of grifters. It is not a comment on your characterbut of a proposal that I personally see as poor in value.

We did not coerce anyone into accepting the proposal or the budget.

EquallyI did not coerce you in to withdrawing the proposal - my response is purely an observation of the proposal in it's current state and value - if you can improve the value of your proposal in a way I feel benefits the PIVX community enoughthen I'd gladly change my mind. None of this is ad-hominem or personalI'm purely putting a keen eyeand light pressureon what you're proposing to the community.

In your opiniondoes charging $100 make someone a scammer?

Nobut you must be worth the $100 you're charging - my position is simplecan you prove your proposal is worth that? As it standsI would disagreebut it is your job to prove me otherwise.

since you are using ChatGPT in the PIVI botyou must understand that there are costs associated with Tokens and various other expenses.

Exactlythus I know from experience that we can do the tasks you've written in this proposal for VASTLY cheaper. These APIs are not expensivecertainly nothing near what this proposal requests.

In any casesince you already have a bot we are withdrawing the proposal.

There is room for more botsalways! It just has to be worth it. Building the same thing twice isn't an efficient thing for the DAO to doif you can build something we haven't already doneat a decent enough cost? I'll absolutely support you.
