Why is it that I immediately assume at least a sizable amount of chatbots on threads were either created, directed, or funded by Elon and his financiers.

Of course there are going to be chat bots swarming any social media/platform with enough real participants, but it's not like Meta is new to social media and I would assume Meta has sophisticated detection systems available to them for exactly this type of thing (and probably has their own chatbots and a bot whitelist)

Maybe the chatbot AI revolution will make social media unusable.

Either way, I would be shocked if chatbots could exist on either platform in a meaningful way if Meta/Twitter actually put reasonable efforts into ensuring all content was generated and shared by real people.

I'm saying this without a clue how anything actually works, don't take my crackpot theories too seriously
