Twitter has become almost unbearable lately with the emergence of Grok. You go to read a tweet, looking for real opinions, and suddenly you find that out of 90 comments, 80 are people interacting with the bot. And yes, I recognize that it may be useful for some, but for me, it's turned the threads into a repetitive and empty dumpster. Before, you would go to the comments to see different perspectives, debates, even creative jokes; now it seems like we're just watching half the world converse with a machine that contributes nothing human. I feel like, little by little, it's ruining the spark that made Twitter such an interesting place.

It's actually disheartening how many people interacting with Grok do so in ways that betray that they have no clue what LLMs are and how they work... and then they jump to conclusions anyway. If Grok didn't answer it's censorship, if it disagreed it's woke or captured, and if it agreed they feel validated
Some of them even act like grok is omnipotent, asking them to watch a posted video and glean some complex information from it or things like double entendres/memes/political takes that there's no way the bot can do (yet I suppose..)

I have seen several times that there are people who do not agree with what X person published, and they begin to form a debate with the AI trying to validate their point......people arguing with a bot, it is the new thing that the market brings hahahahaha

Yeah instead of facing each other they're each tugging at Grok's dress to debate each other. It's a sight alright

So true! I totally agree with you. I even stopped using Twitter (X) on daily basis. I barely log into it now.

I'm really losing my taste for going in, I think I'm going to let it go.

It was ruined long before Grok. Long before Elon. When it became a mainstream and far to focused on patrician politics it was gone for me.

I think maybe because I got to it late I didn't see that part, but for me at least after they put in that AI it lost all meaning to me.

I will say this. The people posting asking Grok if something is evidence of the real threat of AI. People trusting it.

Twitter had a massive bot account problem. I guess they replaced that problem with their own mega bot.
