Biswal&#8217;s <!-- -->Twitter<!-- --> bot, called &#8216;<!-- -->Explain This Bob<!-- -->&#8216;, was associated with a memecoin called BOB.<br \/>The bot used OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 model to recognise and reply to tweets with a short explanation when mentioned in the replies to an original tweet. According to reports, Musk and Twitter suspect that this account was influencing the price of BOB.<br \/>On June 18, Musk tweeted that the &#8216;Explain This <!-- -->Bob<!-- -->&#8216; account appeared to be a fraudulent cryptocurrency account, and as a result, the account was quickly suspended from the micro-blogging site.<br \/>Months before suspending the bot, Musk had appreciated the bot, writing, \u201cI love Bob.\u201d<br \/>Back in April, a Twitter user said that <!-- -->Microsoft<!-- --> had removed Twitter from its advertising platform because they refused to pay API fees. To this, Musk replied, \u201cThey trained illegally using Twitter data. Lawsuit time.\u201d<br \/>Then another user tagged @ExplainThisBob, prompting the bot to explain Musk&#8217;s tweet, writing, &#8220;Twitter does not want to sell their database, and the idea of taking away ads is not a good way to make money.&#8221; After receiving an explanation, Musk tweeted, &#8220;I love Bob,&#8221; soon, the token&#8217;s price skyrocketed.<br \/>The account had over 402,000 followers before its suspension. Prior to being suspended, the account responded to Musk&#8217;s accusation by denying it. The automated response clarified that &#8220;Bob&#8221; is not a scam, but rather a decentralised memecoin with zero taxes and no contract ownership. It was inspired by Doge and created for the people.<br \/>The account and its associated crypto token, BOB, became popular. After a tweet by Elon <!-- -->Musk<!-- -->, the value of BOB surged by 4744% and the number of unique holders increased by 1000%. <br \/>BOB Token is a meme coin that features PEPE the Frog. Its value peaked at $0.00021819 in May but has since dropped sharply and has been at around $0.00002 this month. Since the suspension of @ExplainThisBob, the memecoin witnessed a 30 per cent drop in its value over the last 24 hours.<br \/>The hashtag \u201c#FreeBob\u201d has been trending on Twitter requesting Musk to bring back the suspended Twitter bot.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) \n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() \n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        ;\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) \n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) \n        return;<\/p>\n<p>      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) \n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      )(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    ;<\/p>\n<p>    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || ;\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) \n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) \n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n       else \n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/jarvis.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config)\n          if (config) \n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);<\/p>\n<p>        )<\/p>\n<p>    ;\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/gadgets-news\/elon-musk-suspends-indian-developers-explain-this-bob-twitter-bot-heres-why\/articleshow\/101111333.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Elon Musk, who made a promise to remove bots and scam accounts from Twitter, has suspended the bot from an Indian developer Prabhu Biswal.
