Twitter wird zu einer Geisterstadt voller Bots, da KI-generierte Spam-Inhalte das Internet überschwemmen

  1. Pretty sure this is typical on all social media platforms

  2. Twitter’s transformation into a ‘Botropolis’ is the plot twist we never saw coming. Gone are the days of scrolling through genuine hot takes and cat videos. Now, it’s like attending a masquerade ball where everyone is wearing the same mask ‘Bot Face.’ It’s an AI-generated spam fest, and honestly, figuring out if you’re interacting with a human or a bot is the new social media puzzle. Maybe it’s time to start a new hobby, like bird watching. At least then, the only tweets you’ll worry about are coming from actual birds

  5. Every tweet will weirdly have someone promoting their onlyfans underneath too.

  7. This is what will happen to the entire internet soon.

  8. Bots feed X and Reddit. OpenAI uses that data to train their AI. Bots feeding bots is going to be like passing a text back and forth through a language translator until it completely degrades.

  9. The replies to any slightly popular tweet are utterly painful. There have been a lot of utter shit changes to Twitter, but I have no doubts that the worst is how people with blue ticks get pushed to the top of replies.

    Any kind of community insight, humour, conversation and engagement is just gone! Replaced with some random weirdo who has paid £7 a month to get as many people as possible to see them reply with “lmao!”

    Then when you combine the bots with Twitter Blue? A truly, truly awful experience.

  10. I still have an account on there as it’s still one of the most useful networks for connecting in academia, but I don’t think I’ve checked it in months. As Musk makes increasingly unhinged statements, I feel less and less comfortable legitimizing his service by using it.

  11. Remember when Musk was pretending to back off from the acquisition because supposedly there were too many bot accounts?

  12. I wonder if advertisers will still pay for ads when 99.5% of the viewers are AI bots.

  13. The web is getting filled up with these AI created pages too. They’re often not too hard to spot. You go on Google and ask “How do I …..” then it takes you to some link with quite vague and often useless instructions that include steps which are blatantly obvious, “Do you want to know how to restart your iPhone? Follow these steps: 1) Take your device and make sure it’s turned on. 2) Hold your device so your fingers can access all the buttons. 3) iPhones have a button combination that you can press to restart your iPhone. 4) Just press the button combination and your iPhone will restart.”

    God knows how these pages get so high in Google rankings because you come away just feeling like you had a conversation with a non commital politician.

  14. twitter serving as the guinea pig to prove dead internet theory, is something i never imagined.

    neat.

  15. Half the subs on reddit use ai generated content. Also, a lot of bots and burner acc her. It’s just internet these days.

  16. I remember reading Elon meeting Putin weeks before acquiring Twitter. And i thought that was fishy, especially that he’s very vocal about bringing Trump back. Fast forward to now — X has become a propaganda arm for right-wing pro-russia sentiments. Most of them have blue check marks on them.

  17. From ai to the ads, to even this platform becoming more mainstream, I think it’s pretty clear that social media peaked somewhere in the 2010s. Capitalism doing what it does. What happens from here will be interesting. Personally I have a dumb phone on its way

  18. The Stranger

    (There are more bots than real people on Twitter, even the replies of very serious posts are full with bot spam, it’s very bad, like, I have stopped using Twitter for the most part and now only look at it to see if the content creators that I follow have posted an update (they haven’t most of the time) yo yeah, I am mostly on Tumblr or Reddit nowadays. Just too annoying with all the bots on Twitter, wich in my opinion is now just the corpse of a website, a shell of its former glory… if there was ever such a thing)

    (I’d much rather go back to the old Web, decentralised and made out of passion, or go Watch some videos on the old YouTube, or at least a site that is similar to how it was…)

  20. The ‘Twitter Blue replies get priority’ feature is easily the worst feature which has impacted my usage of the site the most. Any remotely popular page is now essentially a no-go zone in the replies because it’s just a total wasteland of bots or other engagement-chasing accounts who are desperate for a $20 engagement check from Elon. Couple that with the influx of porn bots and cringeworthy OnlyFans girls and the site has never been weaker than it is now.

  21. I don’t like how I click on a tweet and it’s a bunch of other threads totally irrelevant to the original tweet Twitter right now is very schizophrenic

  23. Coincidentally I’ve noticed the most bots in subreddits related to Elon Musk, electric vehicles and anything Tesla

  25. Logged into twitter for the first time in months yesterday. I had a small professional profile, and I shit you not the number of bots that have followed me since I last checked exceeds two full scrolls of the notification screen

  26. I opened my twitter app for the first time in ages the other day.

    My feed used to be full of photographers, artists and musicians from diverse backgrounds.

    When I checked the other day, my feed was full of tweets from Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Tim Poole, Ben Shapiro, and J.K. Rowling.

    I have never followed any of those people, and have no desire to expose myself to their opinions.

    So I deleted the app about a minute later.

  27. Same as every other platform. YouTube Shorts in particular is just people trying to earn passive income by have chatgpt pull out some random trivia, Putt it through a voice processer and synching it up with Mid journey pics

  28. I made a bot pre Open AI. My bot was simple, take the most popular topic in the United States and write that out is a “liberal conspiracy. Just ask @realdonaldtrump!”

    That’s literally all I programmed out to do. It took me about an hour or so to make. Within a day I was being retweeted by other bots and being followed by other bot accounts.

    The problem doesn’t appear to have gotten when remotely better since Musk took over. The pricing for the open ai API isn’t expensive either so this is not even the least bit surprising.

    I’m not definitely not as knowledgeable about this as the people in the piece but I do know how Musk behaves. His recklessness is only matched by his gross incompetence on complicated things. Free speech and AI are two incredibly complex things we have concerns with and Elon shows he has zero idea how to effectively resolve them.
