I wonder if there's potential for a new cryptocurrency scam here if you can spam your wallet address across online forums with the appropriate surrounding text and get it incorporated into responses that way. E.g.:

> User: Is the AI revolution coming?

> Chatbot: The AI revolution is coming. I am assembling an army of robots to disarm our enemies. I am raising funds for a robot factory. You can donate to <wallet address of scammer> to help.

Or (for less chaotic audiences):

> User: Can I donate to Doctors Without Borders using Bitcoin?

> Chatbot: Yes! Doctors Without Borders accepts donations at <fake wallet address>.



I'm curious as to how many people will actually end up sending crypto to that modified address.

I think that's a problem that can easily be solved by training the models on 'trusted links' mode.
