Elon Musk recently shared details about his plan to summarize and present news on platform X (formerly Twitter), using his AI language model Grok.
Musk aims to provide accurate and up-to-date information that combines news reports and social media reactions from X. This AI system sometimes analyzes tens of thousands of posts to provide a news update. These updates will be presented live and users can go deeper into the content via chat.
Grok, with which Musk plans to compete with ChatGPT, has already begun showing news headlines and integrating social reactions into summaries.
With this, Musk also wants to keep as many users as possible on the platform longer. External links to original articles are not shown in these summaries for the time being and fits in with the trend of discouraging links to other platforms as it causes people to click away.

We also see this trend with other social media platforms, such as Facebook, causing many companies to see a significant decline in the number of visitors to their websites from social media.
