Great post. Nice to learn AI can improve speed!

Another big question is coverage. One weakness of community note on twitter is that it’s only flagging a tweet when both republicans and democrats agree that it should be flagged (I’m simplifying a bit here).

This is fine to detect scams and very obvious forms of misinformations that have no political implications, but when a topic is politically-loaded, the community note system is much less likely to flag it. So I see a risk that divisive politicians will basically get a free pass to say whatever they want, even when factually untrue, just because one side of the isle likes them enough to close their eyes or forgive the lie. So at the end of the day, the switch to community notes might catch more miss-information overall, but also allow more political propaganda.
