An AI-written Community Note corrected Scott Alexander's claim that poorly-targeted NY environmental regulations banned tick-control devices. The note clarifies NY required written consent from every property owner within 745 feet since 2019—ending Shelter Island's program in 2020, though North Haven relaunched in 2022. Currently rated helpful (10 yes / 1 somewhat / 1 no), a concrete instance of AI fact-checking on X.
