Elon Musk suspends Indian developer’s “Explain This Bob” Twitter bot, here’s why

Elon Musk, who made a promise to remove bots and scam accounts from Twitter, has suspended the bot from an Indian developer Prabhu Biswal. Biswal’s Twitter bot, called ‘Explain This Bob’, was associated with a memecoin called BOB.

The bot used OpenAI’s GPT-4 model to recognise and reply to tweets with a short explanation when mentioned in the replies to an original tweet. According to reports, Musk and Twitter suspect that this account was influencing the price of BOB.
