@arstechnica I wonder if the real purpose isn't to get more people to have a credit card on file so it's easier to make sales when Twix tries to introduce some kind of purchasing through the site.
@arstechnica Funny how the easiest patterns to match for anyone with a brain are bots, bot activity, etc, yet Google, Tesla, Twitter/X, are unable to stop them. That tells me all I need to know about the BS level of current 'AI' (sic) claims. Even functioning pattern matching should be able to detect bot swarms and activity. What Elon is openly admitting here is that his machine learning doesn't work. Maybe stop to think before putting it in cars? Google's also does not work, spam, etc, same.
@arstechnica the bot thing is bs, he has proven for a long long time he doesn’t care. If Musk wants to build Twitter into a super app, he needs people to add their credit card details to the service. This is not the dumbest way to achieve that… but it comes at a price for growth. Looks more like desperation to me, but let’s see.
@arstechnica Musk isn’t trying to ban bots, he’s trying to monetize them. After all, most of his personal followers are bots. You can see it every time he posts: replies with gibberish, or a few preprogrammed words, or just emojis.
