Now, Grok has been launched as a benefit to Twitter’s (now X’s) expensive X Premium Plus subscription tier

To the benefit of what exactly?! Instead of having conversations with the echo chamber, I can now have conversations with a spicy RNG autocorrect? I am clearly missing the part where that connects back to, what I would assume, the definition of benefit is.

It benefits those shareholders who make money off the rubes who subscribe to that bullshit.

AH! Silly me, I was thinking of "benefit to the customer"!! LOL. No idea what happened to me there, swear it won't happen again, at least for today.

Ya know, I'm really beginning to think that we live in the age where there is no longer a 'customer' anymore. At least not a human one. When even car companies are selling your data to advertisers now, I think the only 'customers' left are ad networks.

Except even advertisers don't care either, because probably their whole company is just a shell game with money that rich people play against other rich people trying to see who will be the last one holding the stocks when the company goes under from incessant short term decision making.
