Crypto scams are recently taking different dimensions in the crypto space, as most of the scams now come through social media platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Scammers currently try to create fake accounts to trick the public. In a recent incident, Twitter suspended a popular AI bot, ‘Explain This Bot,’ an account linked to a meme coin.<\/span>\u00a0The suspension is based on Elon Musk’s recent claim that the account is a crypto scam<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n On June 18, the former CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, <\/span>disclosed<\/span><\/a> that the artificial intelligence-powered bot was a scam in a response tweet to the account.\u00a0<\/span>He noted that the account will be closed if discovered to be so. Following Musk\u2019s post, the bot account was suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n Before its suspension, the AI-powered bot account has gathered more than 400,000 followers. A computer science engineer from India, Prabhu Biswal, created the bot account using OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4 model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This design allows the bot to understand and respond to several tweets from people tagging the account. <\/span>The AI-powered bot is linked to the ERC-20 meme coin, Bob Token, launched in April 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, \u201cExplain This Bot\u201d went viral in April for its clever summaries and comedic responses to tweets. <\/span>Also, Musk was among those that used the bot as the billionaire once <\/span>commented<\/span><\/a> ‘I love Bob’ in April 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, Musk\u2019s engagement with the Bob bot attracted more followers to the account. The project\u2019s website also captured Musk\u2019s tweet as part of its promotional measures.<\/span><\/p>\n The former Twitter CEO also used the bot recently this month. While reacting to Bob\u2019s response to a political discussion, Musk <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a>: “Once again, Bob nails it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n But the bot account’s recent suspension negatively affected the meme coin Bob Token (BOB) price. <\/span>According to data from <\/span>CoinGecko<\/span><\/a>, BOB plummeted by over 30% from its opening price of $0.00002902 as of June 18. At the time of writing, the meme coin is trading at $0.00001902.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently, crypto Twitter is filled with mixed reactions from observers following the suspension of Explain This Bob.<\/span><\/p>\n Some people think that Musk is convinced of foul play by the team behind Bob. A Twitter user, <\/span>CJR Alpha<\/span><\/a> pointed out that the team could be using the bot as an influencing measure to spike the price of BOB.<\/span><\/p>\n According to CJR alpha, Musk’s crackdown on the meme coin Twitter account revealed the intent to manipulate the market prices of the token.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the Bob Token account <\/span>reacted<\/span><\/a> to the suspension with a meme of Musk monitoring a prisoned Bob. It requested the freedom of Bob, with the hashtag sign ‘#FREEBOB.’<\/span><\/p>\n Crypto<\/a> Twitter has been flooded with the hashtag ‘FREEBOB.’ Many people believed that suspending the bot account wasn’t justified since there was no proof that Bob Token was a scam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the enthusiasts <\/span>argued<\/span><\/a> that the meme coin is a fully decentralized crypto project, has a zero percent tax process, and underwent a fair launch.<\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Twitter Suspends Explain This Bob Account<\/h2>\n
