Twitter Suspends Memecoin-Linked AI Bot "Explain This Bob" Following Elon Musk's Scam Allegation
In a surprising turn of events, Twitter has suspended the widely popular artificial intelligence-powered bot known as "Explain This Bob," which was linked to the memecoin phenomenon. This action came shortly after Elon Musk accused the account of being a "scam crypto account" in a tweet on June 18, which was directed at the bot.
The suspended Explain This Bob account had garnered an impressive following of over 400,000 users before its sudden removal. Created by Prabhu Biswal from India, the bot utilized OpenAI's cutting-edge GPT-4 model to comprehend tweets and provide clever responses to those who tagged the account.
Furthermore, the project was associated with the ERC-20 memecoin called Bob Token (BOB), which had launched back in April. The suspension had a substantial impact on the price of BOB, causing it to plummet by over 30%, as reported by CoinGecko.
Interestingly, this suspension represents a complete reversal of Elon Musk's earlier impression of the bot. On April 20, Musk had tweeted "I love Bob" in response to one of the bot's tweets, a message that prominently featured on the project's website.
