Musk's Plan to Save Twitter with AI
National Newswatch reports on the state of political social media, which has become overwhelmed with disinformation, echo chambers, and bots.
Elon Musk believes AI can clean up Twitter, but this approach raises concerns, as algorithms are seen as a major contributor to the current problems.
Turning to AI to save social media might seem like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
A recent study found that platforms like Meta, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) prioritize content that generates clicks and reactions, often at the expense of user satisfaction, resulting in "low-quality or harmful content" and "divisive narratives."
- Disinformation and echo chambers are prevalent on social media.
- Algorithms prioritize click-generating content over user satisfaction.
- Giving users more control over what they see is proposed as a solution.
