The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto remains, the still unknown individual credited with the creation of Bitcoin. This unknown character is given various depictions to this day, but how much of that is influenced by any outside forces or benchmarks? Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken a stab at this incredibly controversial question and has produced some interesting results.

When first prompting a response from ChatGPT4, the answer received was to use its sister AI, DALL-E, with a series of artistic renderings that imagine the possible appearance of Satoshi Nakamoto. The first image to pop up was a Jedi Knight, following this was a two images that were without doubt very mythic. After this phase, the AI briefly went off on a tangent and gave a face to the creator of bitcoin that resembled a mix of Sherlock Holmes and Dumbledore, which, interestingly enough all had beards.

The next result from DALL-E was, dare we say, more awesome and worthy of a T-shirt design. As if these weren’t quirky and interesting enough, the AI was then asked for a photo and it gave the response Battahoch. After this, the prompt was changed slightly to focus more on the feminine side of Satoshi Nakamoto with the result being a mysterious-looking character with similarities to the Venus in Botticelli's painting. There were also two drawings of an anime-style character.

Finally, a series of famous personalities who could potentially hold the key to the answer of Satoshi were run through Playground. Though the result of this was definitely a tad unsettling, it further shows how far the capabilities of AI have come and hints of its potential to provide insight into some of the world's greatest mysteries.

As it stands, we are no closer to actually knowing what will Nakamoto look like, but AI has provided us with a reality that is almost as weird and mysterious as Satoshi himself. The possibilities of AI providing us with one answer to this burning crypto question remain as unlikely as it ever did, but it certainly proved a fun exercise.
