It means a lot especially coming from someone who clearly values accuracy and rigour” The bot even assured Kardashian it would “keep raising its game”.

While we don't know the full context of their conversation, the snippet was enough to set the internet ablaze. Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) exploded with reactions ranging from amusement to outright criticism.
