Elon is taking it to a new level by using bots war on Twitter to increase popularity. Since a few weeks ago, Those trials have been taking place in New Zealand and the Philippines. This means that a $1 (USD) fee will be applied to accounts that have been using the system for less than 3 months as they feel that this money will stop from bots destroying the platform.
Although this change brings relief to existing users of neighboring schools, it has also caused cause for concern. Would introducing such solutions prevent bots from being introduced into accepted artificial intelligence solutions, some of which already work with humanized service providers? It is more essential to ensure that this decline in new user sign-ups does not discourage true participants of social media platforms like X.
Social media networks have become accustomed to a basic version that costs nothing in total. Users can create welcome accounts and connect for as long as they are interested and more advanced features are often accessed through paid accounts. This example modifies the model as a whole, by imposing payment for basic things like created posts and likes.
Musk will point out terrible contradictions. University may be perceived as a barrier to entry, especially because people may blame it for elitism. In the process, the growth of the university may be restricted. It will be interesting to know what happens after this “pay to post” experiment: will the bots be silenced forever or will the possibility of new voices be canceled?
Unfortunately, a small fee for new user write access is the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.
Current AI (and troll farms) can pass “are you a bot” with ease.
