Elon Musk

Elon Musk X has revealed a new plan to address the bot problem on the <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musks-x-drops-nft-features-in-new-platform-vision/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">social media platform X</a>. Regarding some changes stated on X’s site, Musk emphasized that making new users pay a small fee is critical. Musk noted that such a measure is the “only way” to avert the bot attack effectively. Musk emphasized the obsolescence of traditional bot-detection tools such as CAPTCHA, which AI and troll farms can now easily circumvent.
Such a decision follows earlier attempts in <a href="https://coingape.com/is-elon-musk-latest-move-aimed-at-tackling-bots-or-offsetting-losses/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">New Zealand and the Philippines</a>, where X started to charge non-verified new users $1 per year. The latter category of users could only access content but were blocked from interacting if they did not pay the fee. The approach seeks to minimize spam and improve the quality of user interaction. Information on the timing of the implementation of this policy at a global level and the definitive costs is still unknown.

By allowing a posting fee for new users, Elon Musk’s approach addresses the heart of the spam problem, making it expensive for bot operators to have many fake accounts. Previous steps saw the site perform a major cleanse of spam accounts, which, as mentioned, might lower follower numbers but improve interaction truthfulness.

 Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.
 Current AI (and troll farms) can pass “are you a bot” with ease.

This approach is in concert with Musk’s broader concept of refining the user experience and protecting the platform’s ecosystem. By making the fee structure utilized in some regions global, Elon Musk X attempts to unify its bot defense. It could also promote real user interaction in that users will be concerned with quality rather than quantity.

Elon Musk X keeps coming up with new technology to improve its performance. Musk noted in July 2023 that his AI company, <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-slams-openai-amid-xai-open-source-announcement/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">xAI</a>, would employ the public posts from X to train its models. This is consistent with X’s new policy last year, which permits the use of public posts for training machine learning algorithms. The interaction of X and xAI highlights Musk’s focus on utilizing AI to enhance platform features.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-teases-grok-2-ability-to-outpace-current-ai-scene/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">xAI launched the Grok chatbot</a> for Premiums of X. In the past, this was only available to the higher-paying tiers, so this is a major redefinition in terms of what X intends to provide value.
