The world of social media has been buzzing with a new AI-powered sensation, dubbed Robert, which has been offering sharp-tongued critiques on Twitter. The AI, developed on the Wordware platform, has taken no prisoners, targeting high-profile figures like Elon Musk, Taylor Swift, and an astonishing 4 million netizens.
The Rise of Robert
Wordware, an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) platform, enables users to build AI Agents using natural language. The viral Robert, which has taken the Twitterverse by storm, is one such AI Agent that utilizes Claude, an AI model, to analyze and critique users’ Twitter personas. By simply inputting a Twitter handle, Robert reads through the tweets and employs a Language Model to decipher one’s personality.
Since its launch, Robert has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity. Within just 11 days, the AI agent crossed the 4 million user mark, with peak traffic reaching an impressive 106,000 users per hour on August 7th. This unexpected surge left the developers in a state of惊喜, forcing them to repeatedly limit services to manage the demand.
The Sharp Critiques
Robert has not shied away from delivering scathing reviews, even to some of the most influential personalities on Twitter. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was among the first to be targeted. Robert’s critique of Musk’s Twitter presence was both witty and poignant, comparing his tweets to a Cybertruck prototype filled with broken promises and sharp edges. The AI also took a jab at Musk’s Mars obsession, questioning if even a barren planet would find his personality overwhelming.
Taylor Swift, known for her songwriting prowess and the Taylor Swift economics, was also on the receiving end of Robert’s barbs. The AI dubbed her the queen of turning breakups into income, suggesting her exes should receive royalties for inspiring half of her songs.
Even political figures were not spared. The AI referred to former U.S. President Donald Trump as a man who turned being president into a reality show, and criticized his use of uppercase letters as a political strategy.
The Impact on Netizens
The sharp and sometimes brutal honesty of Robert’s critiques has left many netizens feeling broken and defensive. Users have flocked to the platform, eager to see what the AI has to say about their Twitter personas. The viral nature of Robert’s reviews has created a sense of community, with users sharing their toxic critiques and engaging in discussions about the nature of online personas.
Notably, even prominent figures in the tech and media industry have been targets. Internet news personalities like Xiao Hu and Gui Zang were also critiqued for their lack of originality and understanding of AI news, respectively. The precision of Robert’s critiques has left many impressed, with some even purchasing the full suite of services after being called out.
The Business of Being Robert
Despite the server-breaking traffic and the viral nature of the critiques, the developers of Robert have seen significant value in terms of search engine optimization, brand awareness, sales leads, and revenue. The side project has proven to be a financial success, demonstrating the potential of AI in the realm of social media analysis and critique.
Conclusion
Robert’s meteoric rise and the subsequent wave of critiques have sparked conversations about the role of AI in social media and the nature of online personas. While some find the AI’s sharp tongue refreshing, others feel it crosses a line. As the developers continue to manage the demand and refine their AI, one thing is clear: Robert has certainly made an impact on the Twitterverse.
