Will Elon Musk Charge X Users for Content?
Elon Musk is considering charging a small fee to new users of X (previously Twitter) so they can publish their microblogs or posts.
He discussed how the platform may handle the bot problem in this manner. In reply to a post on X regarding the recent altercation on the platform, Musk stated that the "only way" to stop the "onslaught of bots" is to do so.
The CEO of Tesla is taking this into consideration in direct response to the shortcomings of the current bot-detection systems, such CAPTCHA. He made the statement, "Current AI (and troll farms) can pass 'are you a bot' with ease," highlighting the shortcomings of these techniques.
The regulation that is being proposed includes a three-month buffer in which newly registered email addresses can publish without having to provide money.
There was no indication of when a cost feature for new users will be added, and the nature of the price is still unknown.
X has previously conducted experiments with user fees.
The platform started charging $1 yearly to users who weren't verified in the Philippines and New Zealand last year. Although these users could read and access information for free, they had to pay to interact with posts—that is, to like, reply, and publish. According to Musk's most recent plan, this pricing system might be extended to more areas.
The decision to charge users is in line with X's larger initiatives to fight spam. The platform announced a major campaign to combat spam accounts earlier this month. Part of the campaign involved alerting users to possible changes in their follower counts. By charging for new accounts, X hopes to improve its ability to handle the bot problem more skillfully.
Musk's conflict with AI bots
In the past year, X has revised its policy to permit the compilation of data sets for machine learning by utilizing public resources, such as posts on social media, and AI models. Alternatively, by the end of this month (July 2023) X's AI startup, xAI, announced that they would be using public posts as training data.
One of X AI's most recent innovations is the launch of its Grok chatbot for X Premium customers, who must pay a $8 monthly membership fee. Prior to this, only the $16/month Premium+ tier could access this function.
As per a Fortune report, X intends to democratize access to this cutting-edge AI tool by extending Grok's post-composing capabilities to all users.
