“‘They can help deliver a lot more notes #faster with #LessWork, but ultimately the decision on what’s helpful enough to show still comes down to #humans,’ Coleman said Tuesday in an interview. “So we think that combination is incredibly #powerful.”

There are currently hundreds of notes published to Twitter (x) every day, Coleman said, and while he doesn’t have a target for how that might change once AI is involved, there could be a “significant” increase. Twitter (x) first debuted a crowd-sourced fact-checking program when the company was still known as #Twitter, and well before Musk’s 2022 takeover. But its focus on #CommunityNotes has increased under Musk’s ownership, and has recently been adopted by other companies, including #Meta Platforms Inc. and #ByteDance Ltd.’s #TikTok.

Musk himself has said Community Notes serves as a bulwark against #FalseInformation, calling it hoax kryptonite, but he is also regularly #flagged by the fact-checking process for posting misleading information.”

“#Twitter (x) is launching a way for #developers to create #AIBots that can write #CommunityNotes that can potentially appear on #posts.

Like #humans, the “AI Note Writers” will be able to #submit a Community Note, but they will only actually be shown on a post “if *found helpful* by people from different perspectives,” X says in a post on its Community Notes account. Notes written by #AI will be “clearly marked for users” and, to start, “AIs can only write notes on posts where people have requested a note.””

The top Community Notes contributor is...an antivirus startup?

Curious tale about the #CommunityNotes #FactChecking system on X/Twitter, which arose out of some analysis Alexios, Zara and myself are doing on CN. It seems like one antivirus company got so frustrated with the lack of response from the X about scam posts that they decided to pump their notifications through as CNs so people could be alerted about harmful content that way

IndicatorThe top Community Notes contributor is...an antivirus startup?I thought someone was gaming X’s crowdsourced moderation; instead, they appear to be helping clean up the platform’s mess for free.
