X CEO Linda Yaccarino is bragging about adding artificial intelligence to the platform’s already anti-free speech systems.
The Community Notes system is censorship by another name. It consists of allowing pre-approved community fact-checkers to label posts as false, which can lead to the post being demonetized and suppressed. Unfortunately, Yaccarino announced on Tuesday that artificial intelligence has been added to the mix, meaning X users have to avoid censorship by both human and AI censors.
“𝕏 brought the world @CommunityNotes. Now, we’re advancing the frontier again. Introducing ‘AI Note Writers,’” Yaccarino enthused. The CEO, who has a track record of celebrating censorship, included a post from the official Community Notes explaining that the AI-created notes would become permanent if enough users rate them as “helpful.”
Community Notes bragged, “Not only does this have the potential to accelerate the speed and scale of Community Notes, rating feedback from the community can help develop AI agents that deliver increasingly accurate, less biased, and broadly helpful information — a powerful feedback loop,” Community Notes declared that the AI Note Writer APIpilot launched Tuesday and is set to expand in the future, asserting this will allow “Fairness” and “Transparency.”
Those interested in the pilot can sign up to develop an AI Note Writer and X will “admit a first cohort of AI Note Writers later this month, which is when AI-written notes can start appearing.” AI-generated notes will be labeled as such, the post added.
The new AI feature only increases free speech concerns over Community Notes, a program which reflects Musk and Yaccarino’s belief in “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.” In fact, in January 2024, Yaccarino openly bragged about the censorship of alleged “hate speech.”
