<p>Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter has removed headlines from news articles shared by users after the site owner said it would make the posts look better. In a move which might further worsen the already souring relations between the social media platform’s relations with media groups.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is the change?</strong></h2>

<p>According to reports the change was first made on Wednesday (Oct 4) for iOS and desktop users. In line with this, links posted on the microblogging platform now appear as the image posted in the article while the text on the bottom left side of the image shows the domain of the link.</p>

<p>Therefore, to access the link the users will now have to click on the image while there is only a slight change to how the images uploaded to the site appear.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, while Musk has long targeted “legacy media” and has previously claimed that X is a better source of information, he said that the latest change will “greatly improve the esthetics.”</p>

<p>Media reports about the news and other links appearing only as images with no text first emerged in August. It was after a report by Forbes that the Tesla CEO said that the change is in the works. “This is coming from me directly. Will greatly improve the esthetics,” said Musk.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Move draws criticism</strong></h2>

<p>A report by the news agency AFP has noted how the change has been introduced gradually this week where users, instead of seeing a headline along with a picture, now see only an image with a small watermark.</p>

<p>Several users on the microblogging platform have reportedly said that it has become difficult to distinguish between news and other kinds of information.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This has also led many to further raise questions about the trustworthiness of the website after Musk following his $44 billion deal and takeover allowed banned conspiracy theorists and extremists back on the platform.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>X’s souring relationship with media</strong></h2>

<p>Earlier this week, Musk posted, “I almost never read legacy news anymore.” He added, “What’s the point of reading 1,000 words about something that was already posted on X several days ago?”</p>

Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, strips headlines from news story links for ‘aesthetics’

<p>ChatGPT can now access real-time information on web, meaning users would now be able to use the chat bot to access news and information on current affairs.</p>

<p>ChatGPT’s parent company OpenAI said Wednesday (Sep 27) that the bot would now access data beyond its previously specified September 2021 cutoff.</p>

<p>It added that the news companies will still have full control over determining how the bot can interact with their websites and news content.</p>

<p>"Browsing is available to Plus and Enterprise users today, and we'll expand to all users soon. To enable, choose Browse with Bing in the selector under GPT-4," OpenAI said in a post on social media platform X.</p>
