This is the best summary I could come up with:
One morning in January this year, marine scientist Terry Hughes opened X (formerly Twitter) and searched for tweets about the Great Barrier Reef.
Users posted videos showing scrolling feeds with numerous accounts stating "I'm sorry, but I cannot provide a response to your request as it goes against OpenAl's content policy."
Shortly after Mr Musk gained control of X while complaining about bots, X shut down free access to the programming interface that allowed researchers to study this problem.
Towards the end of last year, Dr Graham and his colleagues at QUT paid X $7,800 from a grant fund to analyse 1 million tweets surrounding the first Republican primary debate.
A company called Byword claims it stole 3.6 million in "total traffic" from a competitor by copying their site and rewriting 1,800 articles using AI.
Meta recently announced it was building tools to detect and label AI-generated images posted on its Facebook, Instagram and Threads services.
The original article contains 1,603 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 90%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fuck you bot !
