X is experimenting with a revolutionary new feature for its Community Notes platform that allows human writers to request AI-generated first drafts. This marks the latest iteration in the company's efforts to incorporate artificial intelligence into its note-taking process.
In a pilot program last year, X introduced dedicated AI note writers for developers to utilize. The results have been promising, with one AI writer contributing over 1,000 notes that were deemed helpful by other contributors. However, this new experiment aims to streamline the process and make it more accessible to everyone on the platform.
When an existing contributor requests a note on a post, the system now generates an AI-drafted Collaborative Note. Other contributors can then rate the note or provide suggestions for improvement. The AI will continuously review new input from the community to refine its draft, aiming to create a helpful and accurate note that reflects the collective feedback.
The use of AI in Community Notes has been met with both excitement and skepticism. While some see this as an opportunity to speed up the publishing process and tap into the capabilities of machine learning, others are concerned about the potential risks of relying on artificial intelligence to generate content.
According to Keith Coleman, who oversees Community Notes, the AI writer for collaborative notes is Grok. The feature will initially be available only to top contributors with a "top writer" status, but X plans to expand its availability over time.
Coleman believes that if this new feature proves successful, it could lead to more widespread adoption of AI-powered note writers. However, he acknowledges that there are risks involved and emphasizes the importance of continuous learning from community feedback to improve the accuracy and helpfulness of the generated content.
As Community Notes continues to experiment with AI, its users will be watching with interest to see how this new feature plays out and whether it can address some of the platform's long-standing issues.

I'm both stoked and super uneasy about X's new AI note writer thingy... I mean, on one hand, it's bloody brilliant that they're trying to make Community Notes more efficient and accessible - we've all been there, pouring our hearts out on notes only to have them get lost in the noise 
? It's like they're playing with fire here, but also kinda... really excited about it 
. And top contributors only getting to use it first? That just feels like a big ol' middle finger to the rest of us who are already struggling to keep up 
. I hope they're paying close enough attention to community feedback or we might be in for a whole world of hurt 
. Like, what if they're just straight-up wrong? That'd be super frustrating for me and my fellow contributors.
I guess only time (and lots of testing) will tell if this new feature is gonna be a game-changer for Community Notes.
. But I'm also down to share some criticism and feedback when it comes, because that's what the community is all about, right? 
Those notes can get super detailed and nuanced, and I worry that an AI just won't be able to capture the same level of subtlety as someone who's actually read and understood the content.
.
. Fingers crossed this works out and we get some awesome notes without having to do too much of the heavy lifting 
.
! idk wut th ppl r worried bout tho...i mean, we gotta be open 2 new tech n stuff 
. its def got pros & cons but i think its a gd step in the right direction 
. hope they keep refinein it thru community feedback tho 
. But if it works out, it could be a game-changer for speed and quality control.
. The idea that Grok (their AI writer) can keep learning from the community's feedback is pretty cool too 
. It just makes me wonder what other nifty features they've got up their sleeve 
. Can't wait to see how this experiment goes down 
. Still, if it works out, it could be a game-changer for productivity and collaboration 
!
. If top writers are getting access to this new tool, might we see them moving away from traditional writing? I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... but one thing's for sure, it'll be fascinating to watch and learn as they adapt! 
. it's like they're taking a cue from those super-efficient editors in college who made everyone else's papers look amazing
