X has started suspending accounts for AI-generated reply spamming

Ever since the rise of generative AI, X (formerly Twitter) has been overrun with bot accounts and people using AI/automation to reply to posts. However, X is now cracking down on people using AI to generate replies.

X already has a “Made with AI” tag, and posting without disclosure is technically against the rules. As a result, several accounts are now being suspended entirely.

The entire thing began with a post from @cremieuxrecueil on X, arguing that posting undisclosed AI-written content should at least result in demonetization.

A few hours later, the account in question (@heygurisingh) ended up being suspended entirely.

The post seems to have caught Nikita Bier’s (X Product Head) eye, and he promptly suspended accounts that were automating replies with AI agents.

Bier clarified that using AI tools for basic proofreading or grammar editing is acceptable, but deploying autonomous AI agents to interact with human users under the guise of organic human engagement is strictly forbidden.

Due to this, accounts such as @heygurisingh and “3 other friends” have all been suspended for reply automation. Users summoning a bot (like Grok or AskPerplexity) is not against the rules, as expected.

Even those in the pro-AI camp agreed with the new rules, stating that AI agents are welcome to post, but not when they’re masquerading as humans.

There’s a certain value in human content, and people open the platform to interact with and get opinions from… other humans, not AI bots.

This crackdown highlights a delicate line for X, which heavily promotes its own AI tool, Grok. The platform isn’t targeting AI assistance itself, but rather autonomous bots masquerading as human accounts without disclosure.

The bottom line is that if you’re using AI automation to reply to posts on X, the company will suspend your account. It’s not just demonetization or a temporary warning system here — it’s complete suspension of your account. Personally, it’s good to see the platform finally valuing human content.

In other X news, the product head recently admitted that Grok’s AI review is ‘broken,’ and that there are many false positives. You can read about that here.
