X Launches Stories, Delivering News Summarized by Grok AI
Elon Musk's AI Chatbot Takes Over News Summaries on X (Formerly Twitter)
Hold onto your hashtags, folks! X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has just unleashed a new feature powered by Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok. Premium subscribers can now access concise summaries of trending news discussions right on the Explore page.
But here's the twist: Grok's Stories prioritizes user reactions and opinions over actual news content. Tech journalist Alex Kantrowitz calls it controversial, highlighting the potential for misinformation alongside deeper engagement.
As AI continues to condense news, the future of original reporting hangs in the balance. Will X's strategy of extracting news from user chatter revolutionize or jeopardize the way we consume information? Only time (and Grok) will tell!
