Web3 Digital Companions and the Arrival of the AI Era After spending so many years in the Web3 space, I've seen too many projects rise and fall. But when I saw the collaboration news between @Kindred_AI, @AxieInfinity, and @MemeCore_ORG yesterday, I suddenly realized — we might be standing at the threshold of a whole new era. 1. The Development of Axie Infinity and the Transformation of Digital Pets Think about it, back in 2021 when Axie Infinity was all the rage, many of my friends were playing it, and the first thing they did every morning was open the game to check on their little creatures. But to be honest, back then, Axies felt more like moving JPGs; you could see them, but they didn't really "respond" to you. Now it's different. When your Axie can talk, can tease you based on your gaming performance, and even comfort you when you're on a losing streak — that feeling is completely different. This is no longer just simple human-computer interaction; it's a true "companionship" relationship. It reminds me of the feeling of raising electronic pets when I was a child, but the technology back then was too limited, and electronic pets could only perform a few fixed actions. Now, AI technology has given these digital beings a "soul." 2. The Personality of Digital Companions and the Evolution of Human-Pet Relationships What's even more interesting is that each person's digital companion will develop a unique personality based on its owner. If you're impulsive, your SATO might become fiery; if you're more introverted, it might be gentler and more considerate. This raises a question for me: when our digital assets truly come to "life," what will our relationship with them become? Will it be owner and pet? Friends and friends? Or a completely different kind of relationship? 3. The Significance of Collaboration and Future Outlook I think the most impressive aspect of this collaboration is that it's not just a technological breakthrough, but an innovation in emotional connection. In an increasingly digital world, we need not only tools but also digital companions that can understand us and accompany us. Perhaps looking back a few years from now, 2024 will be remembered as the year of the "awakening of digital life." If your Axie could really talk, what kind of personality would you want it to have?
