Elon Musk announced plans to revive Vine, the iconic short-form video app, this time powered by artificial intelligence. The move has sparked nostalgia and criticism, as fans celebrate the platform’s return while skeptics warn AI could erode Vine’s human creativity and grassroots appeal.
Details remain scarce, but Musk hinted at AI-generated content tools for users.
We’re bringing back Vine, but in AI form

The announcement triggered a wave of speculative trading, sending the $VINE cryptocurrency token — unrelated to the platform — soaring in value.
Critics argue that AI risks turning Vine into another synthetic-content factory, losing the organic, chaotic charm that once defined it. Still, Musk loyalists say the integration could make Vine more competitive in an increasingly AI-driven creator economy.
