  • Twitter is no more. It is X.com. People flee, to be replaced by bots, and X's goal is to amplify the master, MElon. As he has limited capacity he made a chatbot to spew out or amplify or multiply his voice. He calls it "AI". It has no intelligence, it's a parrot. If it spews out utterly illegal things he can pretend it is a bot, hence immune from prosecution.
