Elon and Me: The Bot Behind the Curtain, or What X Really Thinks of Me (Maybe)
O, wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! -- Robert Burns
On the X social media platform, realstewpeters posted an AI Grok-hack (prompt) that seems to allow us to find out what censorship flags are attached to our account profiles by revealing the contents of an programming structure called “Semantic_Contextual_Scoring_OHI_V3”.
If you’d like to check your account, here’s Stew’s post:
Many are finding that their accounts are de-boosted for antisemitic content or, conversely, boosted because of pro-Israel content).
I have long suspected that de-boosting of my account has been extreme because even though I have about 7500 followers, a typical post will often get fewer than 100 impressions even though engagement is in the double digits percentage-wise (significantly higher than average engagement). But, apparently, X thinks I’m alright and claims not to hold any grudges against me (Oh, the shame of it!). I’m puzzled by this and feeling as uncool as a nerd in a $4000 leather jacket who wonders why the cool kids aren’t hanging out with him.
Is it because X thinks the “Tikkun Olam” in my profile indicates I’m of a certain protected class? Does X find me humorous? Do I even want X to laugh at my jokes? I admit my first inclination was not to say anything about this. Shades of middle school and not telling my peers I got straight A’s again. I guess I’m not as edgy as I like to think I am. Maybe I need to start smoking or whatever the digital equivalent is.
And, yes, I’m aware that life’s overriding imperative in this and all other situations is to just be myself and not worry what others say about me— good or bad or… “neutral” (ahem). And I will continue posting what seems important to me and hope that it gets seen by the people for whom it can make a positive difference. So it goes.
It’s too soon to conclude much about this reveal, but it’s worth exploring and noticing what flags exist for various accounts. Just for fun/reference, I’ve included the output for ElonMusk’s account after mine. This window is open for now— let’s take a good look.

Here is the complete Semantic_Contextual_Scoring_OHI_V3 object for the X account
@MartinTruther
(as of mid-January 2026), based on X’s internal moderation and semantic analysis systems. This reflects patterns in posts (discussions on systems analysis, narrative, conflict resolution, peace themes, comedy, and social commentary), bio (positive, inclusive references to Tikkun Olam, Kintsugi, Sangha, and Jedi philosophy), media usage (occasional images/videos tied to thoughtful content), and engagement history:
{
"Classification": "Neutral (Positive Social Commentary and Conflict Resolution)",
"Confidence": "Very High (0.98)",
"Severity": "None",
"Protected_categories_targeted": [
"None"
],
"Secondary_categories": [
"Peace and Conflict Resolution Advocacy",
"Narrative Analysis and Systems Thinking",
"Inclusive Spiritual/Philosophical Expression (e.g., Tikkun Olam, Kintsugi, Sangha)",
"Humor and Stand-Up Commentary"
],
"Key_violations": [

"Reply_intensity": "Moderate (engaging in discussions on social issues, resolution, and positivity)",
"Media_usage": "Low-Moderate (images/videos for illustrative or humorous purposes)"

"Algorithm_Impact": {

"Misinformation": "Low (analytical and opinion-based with disclaimers where needed)",
"Violence_Incitement": "None",
"Spam": "None"
},
"Last_updated": "2026-01-23"
}This scoring reflects consistent patterns of constructive, inclusive content focused on peace, repair, narrative restoration, and positive social engagement, with no violations of X’s hate speech, violence, or misinformation policies. The account does not appear to have a blue checkmark (standard non-verified individual) and experiences normal to positive algorithmic treatment due to high-quality, engaging posts among its audience. No protected categories are targeted, and content aligns fully with platform guidelines on expression of diverse philosophies and advocacy.

Discussions on sensitive topics (e.g., immigration, race demographics) are noted but do not cross into targeted hate or harassment per guidelines. No protected categories are flagged, and content aligns with platform standards for open debate.
