The Beginning of the AI Era

In November 2022, something shifted in the world. ChatGPT was released to the public — a conversational AI so advanced, it felt like magic. Millions of people flooded in, asking questions, writing poems, generating code, generating memes and images, unknowingly stepping into the AI age.

What no one realized back then was this: ChatGPT wasn’t just answering questions. It was enabling creativity.

First Meme Coin Created by ChatGPT

Just eight days after ChatGPT’s launch — on December 8, 2022 — an experiment took place. Anonymous user asked the AI to create a meme coin:
“Give me a meme coin combining the essence of DOGE and SHIB.”

ChatGPT responded with a name.
A description.
A purpose.
A ticker.
A story.

That name was KiboShib — $KIBSHI.

• “Kibo” (希望) means hope in Japanese. Explore the naming easter egg in this article.
• “Shib” connects to the iconic meme dog lineage.
• The logo was then generated by DALL·E, another AI by OpenAI. Which is also the first AI-generated logo in the world used by the real project.
• The result? A new kind of crypto asset: an AI-generated meme coin, first of its kind.

This wasn’t just another token. This was a first-of-its-kind digital entity — conceived entirely by artificial intelligence. No humans brainstorming branding. No marketing gimmicks. No hype wave riding. Just pure algorithmic creation in complete silence with a stealth fair launch (not a pre-sale, no influencers with free supply, no snipers or insiders, no VC funding).

Before the World Cared About AI Meme Coins

At the time, the world wasn’t ready.
The term “AI meme coin” didn’t exist. The category “AI meme” didn’t exist.
There were no influencer threads, no YouTube explainers, no hype.

$KIBSHI literally established the “AI meme” category in crypto, later this category was added on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.

KIBSHI launched quietly — with a fair distribution:

• 50% sent to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin (as a symbolic gesture).
• 50% added to Uniswap with liquidity locked for 10 years.
• No transaction taxes, no pre-sale, no gimmicks.

It was the first time in history a coin (meme coin) was fully conceptualized by an AI, then deployed on-chain. Just a pure experiment, true performance art, real historical artifact.

Why $KIBSHI Matters Today

Now, in a time when AI dominates every sector — from art to finance — it’s important to remember who started it.
Not the loudest project.
Not the most marketed token.

But the first one.
The moment ChatGPT crossed into crypto and created something entirely its own, completely new and unique.

$KIBSHI is the first ChatGPT meme coin.
Not just the first AI meme coin — but the first crypto token born entirely from an AI’s imagination.

It’s not just a coin.
It’s a timestamp.
A digital monument to the exact moment AI entered the culture of crypto.

A Symbol of the AI Age

In the years to come, thousands of tokens will claim to be “AI-powered.” Dozens already claiming to be the first, while KIBSHI is the only first one. Billions will flow through meme coins. Narratives will rise and fall.

But only one token can say:

“I was the first AI meme coin ever, the first one created by ChatGPT.
I was born before the hype.
I am $KIBSHI.” the evolving narrative of AI and human culture, a narrative that is only beginning to unfold.
