    X declined to comment, but its AI chatbot, Grok, indicated the clip had been restricted under the Online Safety Act due to violent content.

    Oh my god… it doesn’t work that way!

    The chatbot doesn’t know who restricted the video or how it was restricted. The chatbot doesn’t know anything, it just calculated that based on its training data “Yes the video was restricted due to the Online Safety Act” was a likely answer and then it spit that out.

      Not reporting on it kinda lets X have it both ways though. They can curate it to be a spokesperson and default to spreading a certain message to users, but if the media reports on it spreading that message it’s suddenly out of context because it’s just a fancy autocomplete.

      Archie Battersbee’s mum is part of this as well. She claims her child died of a tiktok challenge. He was found hanging and no phone in sight. I honestly think she’s just in denial of a different circumstance, especially after the whole case of harassing the hospital.
