Comment on Elon Musk’s ironic bot army exposed
Deceptichum@kbin.social 10 months agoWhat? This has nothing to do with his finances? Where did you get that from?
The bots got outed because they all gave the ChatGPT response to not answering a topic.

He’s attempting to make money by increasing the value of twitter to advertisers by using bots.
The fact that the bots are poorly implemented is icing on the cake

The article isn’t saying that Musk is behind the bots.
The article is making fun of him for waving his opportunity to do due diligence before the purchase and being stuck with all the bots.

Of course that’s what the article is saying.
“Bluesky users are roasting Elon Musk for his freshly exposed blue-checked bot army of fake Xitheads.”
“Fast forward a year and it appears Xitter, the steaming remains of Twitter, is using bots to generate Tweets and look bigger.”

Is the author actually accusing the company itself of running the bots in that sentence? The more I read it the more it hurts my brain. The more times I read this article my brain just hurts more and more. They’re not even attempting to explain, let alone justify, this assertion.

Adding to that, the idea of the check mark used to be to ensure you were talking to who you thought it was. Now bots are verified.
