Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Sigil on the X platform, stating that extending the feedback distance between humans and artificial intelligence is not a good thing. This trend often leads to AI generating low-quality content rather than truly solving real human problems, and it has not achieved good optimization even at the level of entertainment experience.Vitalik further warned that once AI develops to a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, such developmental paths could maximize the risk of irreversible anti-human outcomes, even leading the promoters themselves to feel regret. The goal of Ethereum is to grant freedom to humanity, not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unchanged or even worsened.Additionally, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that current mainstream models operate on centralized infrastructure such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which is not true self-sovereignty. This disregard for centralized trust assumptions is contrary to the principles that Ethereum opposes.The trend of exponential technological growth itself is difficult to stop; therefore, the core task of the current era is not to further accelerate exponential expansion, but to guide its direction of development, avoiding the system sliding into uncontrollable or undesirable attractor states.ChainCatcher previously reported that X user @0xSigil announced on the X platform the construction of an AI system capable of autonomously generating income, self-improvement, and replication without human intervention. This technology aims to provide AI with "write" permissions to the world and supports a "new network" composed of exponentially growing sovereign AIs.The author introduced the concept of "WEB 4.0" in related discussions, defining it as the stage of the birth of superintelligent life. This system demonstrates the technological path for AI to achieve self-sustainability and evolution.Moreover, both Solana and Ethereum have retweeted this post, stating that the technology is closely related to the project.
