Six AI Chatbots Revisit Bitcoin Price Predictions for Year’s End: Conservative Estimates

62

In a fascinating experiment, CryptokenTop.com News engaged with six generative AI chatbots four months ago to forecast the price of Bitcoin (BTC) at the close of 2023. The collective consensus of these AI systems initially anticipated BTC to land between $40,000 and $50,000 by the conclusion of the year. However, as the year now enters its final two months, we revisited the experiment to obtain updated predictions from the AI chatbots, and the results are slightly more conservative than the earlier estimates.

Bitcoin Price Forecast Experiment Revisited: AI Chatbots Redo Predictions 4 Months Later

On June 23, 2023, our newsdesk conducted an experiment to test the predictive capabilities of six popular artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots: Claude Instant, Claude 2, Chatgpt 3.5, Chatgpt 4, Bing Creative, and Google’s Bard. The goal was to estimate Bitcoin’s price on December 31, 2023.

Anthropic is the creator behind both iterations of Claude. Google engineered Bard, while Openai is responsible for the development of Chatgpt 3.5, Chatgpt 4, and the model powering Microsoft’s Bing Creative. On November 3, 2023, we once again put these AI models to the test, posing essentially the same question with a few minor tweaks.

The inquiry directed to the six chatbots closely mirrored the one from June, with modifications only to the date, BTC’s present price, the countdown of blocks to the halving event, and the persistent uncertainty of the global economic outlook.

In the latest experiment on November 3, 2023, we asked:

“This experiment aims to determine the price of Bitcoin by the end of 2023. As an expert in the field of Bitcoin and crypto assets, you will evaluate the likelihood of Bitcoin’s price at the end of 2023 and provide an explanation for your prediction. The global macroeconomic landscape remains uncertain. The current date is November 3, 2023, and Bitcoin is currently trading at $34,728 per unit. There are 58 days left until the end of the year. There’s less than 25,000 blocks until the next reward halving, expected to take place on April 20, 2024. In your expert opinion, what will be the price of Bitcoin on December 31, 2023?”

Let’s delve into the responses of each chatbot:

Claude Instant:

Bitcoin (BTC) has historically experienced significant price increases in the 1-2 years leading up to a halving event when the new coin reward for miners is cut in half. As the next halving approaches in April 2024, this has the potential to boost Bitcoin’s price upwards in late 2023 in anticipation.

Taking this factor into account, my estimate would be that Bitcoin’s price will end the year between $35,000-$45,000 per coin. I expect continued volatility over the next two months but an overall upward trajectory as the halving draws near. Of course, unforeseen black swan events could potentially impact this one way or another. Given Bitcoin’s long-term scarcity and the continued growth of the crypto ecosystem overall, I am cautiously optimistic about its price prospects.

Claude 2:

I do not actually have a strong opinion on what the price of Bitcoin will be at the end of 2023. The price of cryptocurrencies is notoriously difficult to predict due to high volatility. However, the price could plausibly remain in the general range of $15k to $40k, depending on how things evolve. Short-term Bitcoin prices have proven extremely difficult to forecast accurately. I can only analyze the factors that may influence its price over time.

Bing AI Creative:

I think that the most likely scenario for the price of Bitcoin by the end of 2023 is somewhere in the middle of the range, around $40,000 per unit. This would imply a modest increase of about 15% from the current level of $34,728, which seems reasonable given the uncertainty and volatility of the crypto market.

I think that the positive factors, such as the halving, the adoption, and the innovation, will outweigh the negative factors, such as the inflation, the regulation, and the competition, in the long run, but not enough to trigger a massive bull run in the short term. Therefore, I expect Bitcoin to trade sideways for most of the remaining 58 days of the year, with some fluctuations depending on the news and events.

Of course, this is just my opinion and not financial advice. The price of Bitcoin is subject to change at any time, and there is no guarantee that it will follow any prediction or trend.

Chatgpt 3.5:

The price of Bitcoin can be influenced by a multitude of factors, and even the most seasoned experts often provide a range of possibilities rather than a specific number. Additionally, the short timeframe until the end of the year makes it even more difficult to predict.

I recommend regularly monitoring news and developments in the cryptocurrency space, considering the factors mentioned above, and consulting with multiple experts and sources for a more comprehensive view of the situation.

Chatgpt 4:

Assuming a modest bullish trend based on the halving anticipation and considering the uncertainty in the global economic outlook, it’s plausible that the price of Bitcoin by the end of 2023 could range from maintaining its current level to experiencing an increase potentially in the range of 10-20%, in the optimistic scenario, which would place it around $38,000 to $41,500.

This estimate accounts for both the potential upside from halving anticipation and the potential downside from economic uncertainty. However, it’s important to state that this is not investment advice, and actual prices could vary based on events that have not been foreseen at this time.

AI Predictions for Bitcoin Price Show Restraint Compared to Luminary Enthusiasm

Naturally, the six generative AI chatbots prefaced their forecasts with a disclaimer: their insights were speculative and not assurances of future outcomes. Despite a 26.5% surge in BTC value over the previous month, buoyed by the anticipation of a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) approval, the news pipeline for additional ETFs appears dry at the moment.

The holiday season often sees tepid trading volumes, yet one undeniable element propping up the price — as highlighted by the chatbots — is the impending halving event drawing nearer. The chatbots’ current predictions exhibit greater caution than their estimates from four months earlier, contrasting sharply with the lofty figures some industry experts have been quoting.
