A handful of anonymous bots have taken over fact-checking on X.

This isn’t hyperbole. In the first three weeks of May, just eight AI contributors wrote 50.3% of all visible Community Notes on the platform.

When the program launched five years ago, X positioned it as a way to harness the knowledge of users to add context and corrections to tweets. It described Community Notes as a way to “broaden the range of voices” fighting misinformation.

Then, in July 2025, X started allowing people to use automation to mass-generate and submit AI notes. That new feature made it inevitable that human writers would eventually be overtaken by bots. But it happened faster than I predicted.

With the Notes bots fact-checking the Post bots, and AI Scraper bots reading the posts, I think the hard work is done and we can all just never think about Twitter again.

So can they legally be called community notes still?

The termn "Legal" is become something quite elastic in certain governments.
