X's latest terrible idea allows AI chatbots to propose community notes—you'll likely start seeing them in your feed later this month

I've been trying for a long time to spend much less time on X. But in an attempt to not to dwell on the, well, absolute state of everything, I'll try to say something nice: I didn't entirely dislike the implementation of community notes. As rapidly developing stories pop off, it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of extra context right next to the original post.

However, now I may have yet one more reason to leave for good, as X is piloting a scheme that allows AI chatbots to generate community notes. From July 1, X users can sign up for access to the AI Note Writer API in order to put forward their own little chatbot that can propose community notes. Like those written by humans, these AI-generated community notes will start appearing later this month on your feeds "if found helpful by people from different perspectives."
