Crypto Market News: After placing limits on how many tweets users can view per 24 hours, Elon Musk’s social media platform Twitter appears to have made a serious move when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) based chatbots like ChatGPT. On Saturday, the billionaire said the platform was changing rules that affect the number of tweets each account will have reading access in one day. Twitter made the changes, which give verified accounts an edge over non-verified ones, to prevent data scraping and system manipulation. Meanwhile, it seems that part of the new restrictions are actions that directly impact data based training of ChatGPT’s large language models.

Twitter Blocks Access To ChatGPT Web Tool

A new restriction placed on Twitter is reportedly affecting a blockage to the platform’s data access to ChatGPT web browser extension. Earlier, the OpenAI chatbot could easily browse Twitter data and perform regular action like summarize a series of tweets. For example, a request to pull out some tweets from any random Twitter account would result in a ‘technical issue’ message. Meanwhile, some of the verified Twitter users are welcoming these actions from the platform, saying they protect users.

Jessica Tetreau, a verified user, said the company showed great initiative to protect its users with the recent changes. Recently, it has been brought to the notice of Elon Musk about the ChatGPT having access to tweets.

On the other side, AI based crypto tokens Render ($RNDR) and SingulaityNET ($AGIX) saw significant dip in the last 24 hours.
