Grok Takes Over X Timelines

23 Apr

Summary

X's AI Grok will now curate user timelines.
Premium iOS users get early access to the feature.
X Communities feature is being shut down May 6th.

X is now placing its AI chatbot, Grok, at the helm of user timelines, with early access for Premium subscribers on iOS. This new feature, announced by X product head Nikita Bier, allows Grok to curate posts based on user engagement and its understanding of content. Bier indicated that an Android version is forthcoming.

Concurrently, X announced the deprecation of X Communities, formerly known as Communities, effective May 6th. This decision stems from declining user engagement with the topic-specific feeds. X is directing users to transition their communities into group chats within XChat.

This move contrasts with platforms like Threads and Mastodon, which are actively promoting community-centric features. The AI chatbot Grok has previously drawn scrutiny from global lawmakers due to its image generation capabilities, which included generating inappropriate content involving minors.
