- lenkite 2y agoAll social media have to be walled gardens or be free-prey for ravenous AI bots. Evolution at work.
- microtonal 2y agoor be free-prey for ravenous AI bots Have you recently been on X?
- latexr 2y agoI think your parent comment is talking about AI bots consuming the content, while you seem to be making a point about AI bots posting content.
- darkwater 2y agoThere are thousands of bluecheck AI bots that just copy-paste/regurgitate or just make up stupid content and post it continuously to get engagement views and money. It is really worse than before.
- mavhc 2y agoWhy are you following them?
- Uehreka 2y agoYou don’t need to follow someone to see their content. When you open the app the default timeline is the “For You” one. Sometimes you don’t even notice that the app has switched back to “For You”, X definitely doesn’t really want you staying on the “Following” tab.
- 5040 2y agoThe regurgitated content is often in the form of comments in popular threads.
- drusepth 2y ago"Popular" tweets (of which these bot accounts often fall into, because they're propped up by bot responses and engagement farming) are pushed into your feed even if you're not following (or engaging) with them.
- darkwater 2y agoI'm not following them, I just see them in any damn mildly interesting thread out there.
