Let's call this a follow-up post to the AI-garbled mess of a report RFK Jr. put out this past spring. That one included fake citations. The good news is that RFK Jr. has learned his lesson. The most recent report with a plethora of recommendations supposedly based in sound science includes no citations at all. I guess that solves the problem, eh? This is what happens when political appointees who have no idea what they are doing try to generate papers to argue their positions. The AI-generated report from May would be eventually flagged as fraudulent and retracted, assuming it survived the peer-review process (there's always a chance it would have). This new report would not even receive a passing grade in a freshman-level course. It turns out that professors and instructors want to see claims and recommendations backed up with evidence, including citations. Editors would want that too - and whatever RFK Jr. and his band of idiots churned out this time would have received a desk rejection in all likelihood. Anyway, this is another example of our tax dollars at work. Sigh.
