RFK Jr.'s MAHA report cited nonexistent studies

Certain studies within the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" report do not exist as cited, ABC News has confirmed. Dr. Katherine Keyes, a researcher cited in the report as a first author of a paper on rates of depression and anxiety among teens during the pandemic, confirmed to ABC News that she did not write a paper cited in the report that the White House's Make America Healthy Again Commission headed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled last week.
"I was surprised to see what seems to be an error in the citation of my work in the report, and it does make me concerned given that citation practices are an important part of conducting and reporting rigorous science," Keyes wrote to ABC News in an email. Keyes is cited in a paper titled "Changes in mental health and substance use among US adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic," which appears on page 52 of the MAHA report and lists JAMA Pediatrics as the journal. A representative for the journal confirmed to ABC News the paper does not exist. Keyes noted she has done research on the topic cited in the MAHA report, but that she and her listed co-authors did not write the paper cited. "I would be happy to send this information to the MAHA committee to correct the report, although I have not yet received information on where to reach them," she noted.
At least two research journals -- the American Academy of Pediatrics and the JAMA Pediatrics, one of the journals of the American Medical Association -- have also confirmed to ABC News that they were not able to find certain papers within the MAHA report in their publications despite being cited as such.
The White House has blamed it on “formatting” issues.

This paper likely has the footprints of AI all over it

We are approaching a point where we cannot trust digital information because so much of it is AI-generated trash.

If you use AI for any actual research at this point you are fricking retarded.
Every few months I give it another spin to see how much better it’s gotten and 100% of the time it will cite sources that either don’t exist or the source says something VERY different from what the AI claims it says.

RFK's team is using AI to do their jobs. That'll crush your credibility.

I tried it as we are using it at work.
It’s clear that AI writes what we tried so we scrapped it.
I certainly would not use it for anything important just yet.

No. The White House blamed the inclusion and citation of nonexistent studies on “formatting issues“

Then you’re using the wrong AI.
That was true up until about month and half ago or so.
I just pulled something for a chemist yesterday and provided the citations. They pulled up each one and printed them out for reading material.
