> Months ago this model would have promoted Trump, but now it'll call Trump disastrous for the economy.
There’s a well-known quote often attributed to economist John Maynard Keynes: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?”
Yea but this example wasn't of the facts changing. It was of opinions changing. Musk had one opinion months ago, and a different one now. The bot explicitly searched twitter for the current opinions of someone with a history of less than stable actions (i'm trying to be generous for sake of neutrality).
This bot isn't at the whims of the corporate oversight or advertisements, or even direction of a CEO - the bot is at the whims of every post from a chronically online and addicted Twitter personality. Even if you ignore Elons other flaws, making a bot the sum total of everything he's said on Twitter is pretty impressive. .. and not in a good way.
