Elon Musk's X arguably revolutionized social media fact-checking by rolling out "community notes," which created a system to crowdsource diverse views on whether certain X posts were trustworthy or not. But now, the platform plans to allow AI to write community notes, and that could potentially ruin whatever trust X users had in the fact-checking system—which X has fully acknowledged. In a research paper, X described the initiative as an "upgrade" while explaining everything that could possibl

Artificial intelligence chatbots are known for regularly offering dubious information and hallucinated details, making them terrible prospects for the role of fact-checker. And yet, Elon Musk’s X (née Twitter) plans to deploy AI agents to help fill in the gaps on the notoriously slow-reacting Community Notes, with the AI-generated notes appearing as soon as this month. What could possibly go wrong? The new model will allow developers to submit AI agents to be reviewed by the company, according
In what was probably an inevitable conclusion, X has announced that it will allow AI to author Community Notes. With a pilot program beginning today, the social network is releasing developer tools to create AI Note Writers. These tools will be limited to penning replies in a test mode and will need approval before their notes can be released into the wild. The first AI Note Writers will be accepted later this month, which is when the AI-composed notes will start appearing to users. "Not only d

X is launching a way for developers to create AI bots that can write Community Notes 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
The social platform X will pilot a feature that allows AI chatbots to generate Community Notes. Community Notes is a Twitter-era feature that Elon Musk has expanded under his ownership of the service, now called X. Users who are part of this fact-checking program can contribute comments that add context to certain posts, which are then checked by other users before they appear attached to a post. A Community Note may appear, for example, on a post of an AI-generated video that is not clear abou

Community is Motivation on Tap A good community can have tremendous influence on one’s motivation. I never appreciated this fact enough so I wanted to write about it here. Looking at successful athletes, founders, musicians, game speedrunners, or overachievers in any area, they seem to have unlimited motivation to do loads of tedious work or practice. One might say they are interested in the work itself, but how inherently interesting can beating super mario 1ms faster be? The work of a founde

Elon Musk apparently no longer believes that crowdsourcing fact-checking through Community Notes can never be manipulated and is, thus, the best way to correct bad posts on his social media platform X. Community Notes are supposed to be added to posts to limit misinformation spread after a broad consensus is reached among X users with diverse viewpoints on what corrections are needed. But Musk now claims a "fix" is needed to prevent supposedly outside influencers from allegedly gaming the syste
In brief: Meta has announced that it is now accepting sign-ups for Community Notes, the feature that is replacing third-party fact checkers. Much like the X version that inspired it, Meta's Community Notes allows users on the company's platforms to decide if a post is misleading and add more context. At the start of January, just as Donald Trump's inauguration was approaching, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta's third-party fact checkers had become too politically biased and destroyed mor

After announcing its plan to end third-party fact-checking in January 2025, Meta's crowdsourced replacement is finally starting to take shape. You can now join a waitlist to be a Community Notes contributor on Facebook, Instagram and Threads when the feature rolls out in the coming months. Contributors are expect to provide context via a note when a post on one of Meta's platforms "might be inaccurate or confusing," according to the company's sign-up page. Community Notes will be able to be add
Elon Musk has a problem with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking feature that started as Birdwatch, and launched at scale after he purchased Twitter. "Unfortunately @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media," Musk posted. "Working to fix this..." Based on the rant his tweet descends in to afterwards, his issue appears to be with how X's Community Notes contributors have been treating misinformation about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the war in Uk
Meta announced in a blog post on Thursday that it’s now accepting sign-ups for its Community Notes program on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. The announcement follows Meta news last month that it’s going to end its third-party fact-checking program and is instead moving to a Community Notes model similar to the one at X. In its blog post, Meta explains that Community Notes will be a way for users across its platforms to decide when posts are misleading, and allow them to add more context to t
