Ethan Mollick criticizes X's reply algorithm for prioritizing AI spam replies
AI summary
Ethan Mollick says that under every one of his posts there are a large number of obvious AI spam replies; worse still, when real people (for example, employees of Anthropic) respond to the questions he raises, the reply algorithm does not prioritize showing these real human replies. He believes this can no longer be considered social media.

You can't really call this social media anymore.
