It is possible to interact with artificial intelligence chatbots in a number of different areas, including on social media platform X, also known as Twitter. This is despite the fact that the artificial intelligence market is now controlled by a few significant brands, such as OpenAI and Google. Grok has been accessible on the site for some time now, but only for those who have subscribed to the premium plans. Stories on X is a new feature that has been introduced by the platform and is available to users that subscribe to its premium tier.

The announcement was made by the X Engineering account, and it was accompanied by visuals that provided a detailed explanation of how Stories on X would function. As reported by TechCrunch, subscribers will be able to locate these newly created summaries by artificial intelligence inside the For You part of the Explore page. This section will be filled with trending news pieces that are relevant to the user across a variety of categories. We regret to inform you that Stories on X is now only accessible on iOS and the web; however, we anticipate that it will not be too much longer until it eventually makes its way to Android.
Stories on X will not only display summaries of news stories in the area titled “For You,” but it will also curate discussions that take place between many users individually. For example, a snapshot that was provided beneath the comments to the first tweet demonstrates how tweets or “online discussions” may be shown as stories, which adds a new facet to the process of news curation. Notably, the screenshots that were sent by the X Engineering team do not include a description that is shown below each “story” in the For You stream; rather, the headline is the only thing that is displayed.
What does the future hold for artificial intelligence news on X?
TechCrunch also discovered a tweet that was posted by Alex Kantrowitz, who works for Big Technology. Kantrowitz had an email chat with Elon Musk, the Chief Technology Officer of X, about the future of artificial intelligence news on the platform. According to reports, Musk’s ideas for the future include integrating real-world news with the discussions that are taking place on the platform and transforming it “into a real-time synthesizer of news and social media reaction.”
On the other hand, in light of the current controversy that has surrounded NBA superstar Klay Thompson, we are not too hopeful about Grok’s ability to get things right every time. Additionally, Grok admits this deficiency by including a warning underneath these summaries created by artificial intelligence. The disclaimer states that “Grok can make mistakes,” and it also requests that users “verify its outputs.”
Additionally, Musk informed Kantrowitz that the news summary will be updated as and when additional information is available on the issue. He said that the objective is to “provide information that is as accurate and timely as possible, citing the most significant sources.” It is presently unknown whether or not these artificial intelligence news summaries will be made available to users of X who do not pay for the service at some point in the future.
