Twitter has suspended the account of popular chatbot Explain This Bob, which has more than 400,000 followers. This happened just after Elon Musk called the project’s cryptocurrency (BOB) a scam.
Elon Musk has cracked down on the distribution of the Bob Token (BOB) meme-token associated with the Explain This Bob chatbot. Immediately after the Twitter CEO’s comment that this cryptocurrency is a scam, the project’s account was blocked. This caused a sharp decrease in the price of BOB by 30% and a new wave of hatred towards Musk.
Social media users point to the fact that BOB is fully decentralized and fairly distributed at launch. In the context of the blocking, the hashtag #FREEBOB spread on Twitter, which calls for Elon Musk to unlock the project account.
The Explain This Bob chatbot used the ChatGPT-4 API to generate explanations for any posts tagged by users. In April 2023, the account became so popular that even Elon Musk wrote on Twitter “I love Bob” (I love Bob). However, this did not prevent the project from being blocked by the person in charge of the social network just a few months later.
