Ethan Mollick says AI slop replies bury human responses on X

Ethan Mollick, a Wharton professor who writes about AI, says dozens of AI-generated replies crowd each of his posts on X. He says the platform's replies ranking does not surface genuine human responses, citing one from an Anthropic employee as an example.

He describes X's current state as something other than social media. The report is a single post from Mollick on X dated October 29, 2026, and it does not include any response from X.
