Twitter/ X AI- a review

I registered for the premium version of Twitter, which includes Grok 2.0. It's important to distinguish between Grok and Twitter; the former is impressive and a game changer, while the latter needs work.

Grok does a great job of providing various perspectives on controversies, especially when I ask the right questions, such as:

- What is the controversy regarding this topic?

- What does each camp say?

- What are the sources of their positions?

I won't mention the specific subjects I asked about, but the answers from Grok helped me understand the problem better. The noise filtering and clarity of expression allowed me to see different sides of the story and form a more unbiased opinion (although I have a strong preference for Elon Musk!). This understanding would require hours, if not days, if I relied on Twitter.

I also tried out the image generation and was really impressed by the results, although some issues remain, such as consistency and the AI not picking up follow-up directions once you start iterating on an initial output.

Now when it comes to Twitter as a platform, I was expecting AI to:

- Streamline my feed better

- Provide better support when Twitter algorithms mislabel my content as violating policies.

I am careful about whom I follow, yet my feed is cluttered with accounts that post frequently, hiding tweets from those who post less often but share more interesting content. There's no option to indicate nuances of disinterest in certain posts, forcing me to navigate to another feed category.

I have to say I am concerned that my post about localization and multilingualism was rejected by Twitter for violating policies. This happened a few days ago, and I still have not received a response from support, which is another sign that the platform needs some fixing. 

I would say Grok has become a must-have if you want to extract value from Twitter, especially if you don't have much time. It won't replace ChatGPT yet, though.
