## Summary

Ethan Mollick says dozens of AI-generated replies crowd each of his posts. He adds that X's replies ranking does not surface genuine human responses, such as one from an Anthropic employee, and calls the platform's current state something other than social media.

## Post

Each of my posts has dozens of obvious and numbing AI slopreplies.

Worse, when humans really do reply (real example: someone from Anthropic addressing the issue I posted about), the "replies" algorithm does not surface them first

You can't really call this social media anymore.
