CoinEx News: Debate over Cardano's AI experiments is still running as of June 22. Founder Charles Hoskinson, in a June 20 post, defended them after users slammed an AI-generated post on the X account of Input Output (IOG), Cardano's core developer, as "AI slop" — low-quality machine content. He said it was meant to showcase modern AI, not to deceive, and pointed to "Midnight City," a test environment where autonomous AI agents simulate activity on Cardano's privacy network to test its features.

For ADA holders this is a narrative and roadmap signal — Cardano leaning into AI agents and privacy tools.
