Original title: AI Dispatch #8 – The Scream: Grok AI, manusAI, Time to get an AI girlfriend?

Editors note: The AI track is facing a pullback, which is consistent with the overall trend of the crypto market. Macroeconomic events have a profound impact on the market. Despite the low token prices, the technological progress in the AI field is still worth paying attention to.
The following is the original content (for easier reading and understanding, the original content has been reorganized):
The AI track continues to pull back, and the market has not seen any improvement week after week. Previous AI news focused on the growth and market attention of AI tokens, but after entering 2025, the performance of this field has converged with the entire crypto market.
Macroeconomic events are increasingly having an impact on the crypto market. From Trump’s election, tariff policies to various uncertainties, the trend of the AI track should not be analyzed separately, but needs to be considered in the context of a larger market.
With Bitcoin falling back below $80,000 and Ethereum falling below $2,000, the downturn in AI tokens is also expected. The total market value of the entire AI track continues to decline and has now fallen below $5 billion.
So, instead of focusing on price movements, we would like to take this opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the field of AI. After all, the core of our focus is still technology, right? Grok launched the first AI token: DBR, which is the first AI token issued on Base through GROK.
The token was launched via bankrbot, which gives any X user access to a wallet and allows 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 issue tokens 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 transferring all the money to them, haha.
How does DRB perform? Here are some numbers from the_smart_ape:
