Understand this story
Ethan Mollick publicly criticized the flood of AI slop replies under his posts. He said that every one of his posts attracts a large number of obvious AI slop replies; worse still, when real people (such as Anthropic employees) respond to the questions he raises, the reply algorithm does not prioritize showing these genuine human replies. Mollick believes this can no longer be considered social media. This criticism was made publicly by him personally, and there has been no platform response or other follow-up development so far.
