Was AI-notes integration a response to declining human participation?

Ascertain whether X’s integration of AI-authored notes into the Community Notes system was undertaken in response to a perceived decline in human participation.

Background

While discussing risks to the sustainability of Community Notes, the authors note that X announced the integration of AI-authored notes. They explicitly state that the rationale behind this change is uncertain, specifically whether it was motivated by a perceived reduction in human contributors.

Understanding the decision’s motivation is relevant to platform governance and the future direction of community-based moderation, particularly if AI adoption reflects concerns about sustaining human participation.
