[For beginners] Can you create an AI chatbot on X (formerly Twitter)? What are the new features that will make "Community Notes" even more convenient?
Hello! I'm John, a blog writer who brings you the latest information on the Metaverse in an easy-to-understand way.
Did you know that X (formerly Twitter), a social networking site you may use every day, has started a new and interesting initiative using AI? When you hear that "users will be able to create AI chatbots," it may sound difficult. But don't worry! If you read this article, you will clearly understand what is happening and how it relates to our online lives.
This time, we will explain the pilot program launched by X for "AI community note-taking support" in a way that anyone can understand!
What is a "Community Note"?
First, let's review "Community Notes," the main topic of this news.
When you use X, have you ever seen a note under a post that says something like "There is a background to this information"?Community Notes.
This is because ordinary users can easily respond to misleading or inaccurate information by saying things like, "Here are the facts," or "This image is from a different event."Ability to add supplementary information or correctionsIt's a wonderful system where everyone can work together to improve the quality of information on the platform.
X's new experiment: AI helps you take notes!
Now, on to the main topic of this new experiment. X has just started a "pilot program." The content of the program is as follows:Users can develop AI chatbots to create community notesThe idea is to make it so.
You may be wondering, "What does that mean?" To put it simply, it goes like this.
- Develop an AI chatbot that helps users create community notes.
- When other users feel like they want to add a note to a post, they will be able to ask these AI chatbots to "make a note for this post."
- The AI chatbot will create a rough draft of the text for your notes.
- Ultimately, the entire community will evaluate which AI chatbots were most helpful.
In other words, even if you find it difficult to write notes or don't know how to write them, you may be able to create higher quality notes more easily with the help of AI. AI doesn't decide everything, it's more like an assistant that helps you with the "draft".
What good does this have for us?
This new initiative is likely to have several benefits for us users.
- Faster and more information is corrected:If AI can help lower the barrier to note-taking, we can expect more people to contribute and errors to be corrected more quickly.
- Improved quality of information:AI is good at creating objective, easy-to-understand sentences. By having humans revise the drafts created by AI, we may be able to produce more neutral, high-quality notes that are less emotional.
- How the user matters:It is we, the users, who evaluate what kind of AI is useful. It is interesting that the whole community develops a "good system" rather than a company called X deciding unilaterally.
A way of thinking that is also connected to the world of the metaverse
You might be thinking, "But John, what does this have to do with the Metaverse?"
In fact, X's latest attempt is packed with very important elements for thinking about the metaverse and digital society of the future. The metaverse is not just a 3D space. It is based on the idea that "users themselves create the world, participate in making the rules, and build society together with new technologies such as AI."
This news is a perfect example of that.
- User creates tools (creation):Users themselves will develop AI that will improve the platform's functions.
- The community evaluates (makes the rules):The user community will evaluate and decide which AI is superior.
- Collaboration with AI:Humans and AI will work together to achieve a common goal: a "better information space."
In this way, users are becoming more proactive and working with AI to improve their communities on platforms provided by major tech companies. This trend can be said to be a precursor to the digital society of the coming metaverse era.
A word from the author, John
I am personally very excited about X's attempt. It's not just a measure against fake news, but the idea of "giving users the tools to create a better environment with their own hands" is wonderful. I believe that such user-led movements are the key to enriching the future of the Internet and the metaverse.
