...Or Are You Just Happy To See (And Deceive) Me?
From the lede of a comprehensive and extremely well sourced piece by Emily Kennard and Margaret Manto published in the non-profit 'NOTUS':

As for the folks that cooked and are pushing the slop as truth?
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions. Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all...

Although chatbots such as ChatGPT can facilitate cost-effective text generation and editing, factually incorrect responses (hallucinations) limit their utility. This study evaluates one particular type of hallucination: fabricated bibliographic citations that do not represent actual scholarly works. We used ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 to produce short literature reviews on 42 multidisciplinary topics, compiling data on the 636 bibliographic citations (references) found in the 84 papers. We then searched multiple databases and websites to determine the prevalence of fabricated citations, to identify errors in the citations to non-fabricated papers, and to evaluate adherence to APA citation format. Within this set of documents, 55% of the GPT-3.5 citations but just 18% of the GPT-4 citations are fabricated....
In other words, if it looks like AI slop and smells like AI slop it very likely is AI slop.
As for the folks that cooked and are pushing the slop as truth?
They refuse so far to say either way according to quotes obtained by Dani Blum and Maggie Astor of the New York Times:
...Asked at a news conference on Thursday whether the report had relied on A.I., the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, deferred to the Department of Health and Human Services. Emily Hilliard, a spokeswoman for the department, did not answer a question about the source of the fabricated references and downplayed them as “minor citation and formatting errors.”...

As critical thinking is now being left for the bots, as the greater population remains comfortably numb with their preconceived notions, based mostly on hearsay and gossip, the world slips into chaos.
Being stupid is now recognized new intelligentsia and decisions are based more on unproven notion, rather from well thought out and proven solutions.
Failure is not allowed, ignorance is the new educational standard, I am afraid the human race is fast approaching an extinction event.
Read about the "information" provided, etc. cracked me right up. Like what did people expect, that he'd use the truth? Kennedy just goes along and makes it up as it comes to him out of the ether or his junked up brain. Always thought Trump appointed him to demonstrate not all Kennedys were smart or to make America sicker. There are some people you just don't believe. You have to go out and check, check, check and check again.
There seems to be a race to use AI to control the narrative

All this nonsense about artificial intelligence and it's time to actually increase human intelligence with a proper education and educational pursuits. All AI does is enhance laziness.
I believe the term “ARTIFICIAL “ should be a clue to humans.It is not better, it is not the real thing and more to the point it could be worse for you in the long run.
