Whereas it may have been difficult to separate fake news from real news on the former Twitter, we have to admit that isn’t the case anymore with X as compared to other social media platforms or Twitter as we remember it and how it has evolved into a much more complex social media platform that seeks to clear the confusion when it’s thrown our way. Our concerns with Elon Musk taking the oval X offices are actually met with such great administration, and this is just from the observation of our user experience today as compared to before.
It is right there underneath a post to clear the confusion when clarity is needed before you can continue scrolling again.
Social media is entertainment; there’s a lot happening: videos, text, images – content is crisp and in high definition, and in between there are serious events that occur on social media that you aren’t sure are real or not. Whereas before you could have continued scrolling without knowing whether the news you consumed was true or false, that isn’t the case anymore. Grok is perhaps one of the most useful and innovative tools right there X helping to eliminate the spread of false information. It is right there underneath a post to clear the confusion when clarity is needed before you can continue scrolling again.
Our ability to ask Grok what is going on and get the answers we need when we are confused about a post we are interacting with isn’t something that was part of social media when Twitter came to be. Today, powerful AI tools that can mirror reality in the form of images and videos add to the confusion we are more likely to experience in the content we are consuming; whether an image or a video is real or not isn’t something that is clear from the get-go today.
X, as a powerful social media platform, is evolving with AI tools, which is perhaps the best thing X could have ever done in these times, when asking whether something is real or not is actually a legitimate question in most cases on social media. Grok as part of X features adds more value; this is progressive for X as compared to other social media platforms.
