I asked Mr. GPT the following question: "Some people have claimed that Elon Musk was smart to pay $44 billion for Twitter because he could use it to train his AI, and I can see how in the early days the data from Twitter would be helpful in training an AI about how language works, but today we are far beyond that point, AIs already know how do use language. Twitter (a.k.a. X) is not exactly known for its close reasoning or as a well of rocksolid facts; so it seems to me that today if you train an AI on Twitter you'll probably make it stupider, not smarter. What do you think?"

I have been using all of the free AIs, but found the one worthy of a subscription is Grok.  It’s really good on timely matters.  I might hand it this question later if I get a chance.
