Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin revealed in an article published on October 31 that he has started using AI-written command-line tools for Ethereum private payments and ENS content hash updates. He stated that this move aims to reduce reliance on website interfaces, lower the risk of delivering repetitive code, and enhance user control over software versions. The documentation for kohaku-cli, the command-line wallet he uses, warns that the tool is unaudited, still under active development, and AI-assisted, advising users to exercise caution when using it on the mainnet, understanding the potential risk of fund loss.
