Elon Musk Unveils Groundbreaking Solution to Deepfake Problem on X, Community Reacts Positively
Tesla CEO and newly-named owner of the rebranded X platform, Elon Musk, has just announced an innovative tool to combat deepfake scams on the popular social media network. Musk revealed this breakthrough while responding to a tweet from the Community Notes feature, which helps users identify misinformation or fake content.
The latest update to Community Notes includes enhanced image matching capabilities, allowing the platform to display notes on a greater number of posts that feature similar or identical images. Musk expressed his optimism about this update, stating, “This should make a big difference in defeating deepfakes (and shallowfakes).”
The crypto community was quick to react to Musk’s tweet, with many expressing excitement about the new rollout and extending their gratitude to Musk and the Community Notes team. In a lighthearted manner, an XRP activist jokingly asked when XRP payments would be introduced on the platform, to which there was no definitive response.
While rumors circulate about XRP payments being tested on X, an XRPL validator named Vet debunked these claims. However, the company is planning to launch its own internal payment system later this year. The Dogecoin community, as loyal fans of Musk, hold a glimmer of hope that DOGE will also be added as a payment option, although there have been no recent statements from Musk on this matter. In any case, Musk clarified that X will not be introducing its own cryptocurrency, “Xcoin,” as some had speculated.
Overall, Musk’s revelation of this new deepfake antidote on X has generated a positive response from the community, showcasing their enthusiasm for advancements in tackling online deception.
