Not only is AI completely inefficient for mining processes, a general-purpose AI like ChatGPT will do more harm than good for trading. Why not get an AI specifically trained on past trades to try to make better predictions...
AI can have a specific function of enhancing the performance of a mining rig. Miners such as ASIC are created to mine, yes, but they need software for calibration. This is where AI can come in. By simulating different calibration set-up, they can help enhance the software integration to the mining machine for more efficient production of hash. It can also help in maintaining the integrity of the hardware by managing the the machine automatically. This way the mining rig can have a better performance and longer span of durability.
Imagine if you have AI guessing a valid SHA256d. I hope you can already see, that it will be at least 1000x slower than just using an ASIC by itself because the AI will give a lot of wrong answers, because that's what the majority of the training set for crypto mining would be.
Integrating AI on a mining rig does not necessarily mean they will be mining themselves. As I stated, AI can help in maximizing the hardware mining potential and at the same time prolonging the life of the mining rig. This will help miners to have their mining rig a higher hashing power and slow down wear and tear.
