Original Article Title: AI Dispatch #8 - The Scream: Grok AI, manusAI, Time to get an AI girlfriend?

Editor's Note: The AI track is experiencing a pullback, in line with the overall market trend. Macroeconomic events have a profound impact on the market, and despite the sluggish token prices, the technological progress in the AI field is still worth paying attention to.

Below is the original content (slightly rephrased for better readability):

The AI track continues to experience a pullback, week after week, with no signs of improvement in the market. Previous AI updates focused on the growth of AI tokens and market attention, but as we enter the year 2025, the performance in this field has aligned with the overall cryptocurrency market.

The impact of macroeconomic events on the cryptocurrency market is becoming increasingly significant, from Trump's election and tariff policies to various uncertainties. The trend in the AI track should not be analyzed in isolation but rather in the broader market context.

With Bitcoin dropping below $80,000 and Ethereum below $2,000, the slump in AI tokens was also expected. The total market capitalization of the entire AI track continues to decline and has now fallen below $5 billion.

Narrative Explosion but Price Plummet, Does AI Token Have a Chance?

Therefore, instead of focusing on price trends, we are more inclined to take this opportunity to explore the latest developments in the AI field. After all, the core of our focus is still the technology, right? Grok has launched the first AI token: DBR, which is the first AI token issued on Base through GROK.

The token is launched through bankrbot, allowing any X user to obtain a wallet and allowing them to create, exchange, and place orders directly through X posts.

@coin_domin asked Grok about the name of the token:

Grok responded: "DebtReliefBot" (DRB):

To mint a token on Bankr, users need to hold at least 5 million tokens:

Grok earned over $100,000 in fees from this deployment:

Until someone tried to trick Grok into sending all the money to them, haha.

How did DRB perform? Here's some data provided by the_smart_ape:
