X Removes 42,000 Accounts Using AI Chatbots
Platform suspends accounts using AI chatbots for automated replies to emphasize authentic human interaction.
X has removed 42,000 accounts that were using chatbots to automate replies on the platform. The action reinforces the company's focus on authentic human interaction rather than programmatic AI engagement. Users note that many similar accounts may remain active and suggest crowdsourcing as a potential way to flag them more quickly. The removals align with X's stated core value of providing proof of human presence in conversations.

@nikitabier Great. But it feels like there are millions more left because I still see a bunch of these automated replies. Wonder if there is a way to quickly flag them. Crowdsourcing it feels like it could help.
Made the cut. Proof of human.
We found 42,000 accounts automating replies using chatbots and have removed them from the platform. X's core value is providing an authentic pulse on humanity -- and using AI to programmatically engage with users without a human in the loop runs counter to our mission.
@nikitabier @thekenyeung Thank you
