"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.


Is there a paper with the exact title cited? Yes.

Is there a study on adolescents during Covid in JAMA pediatrics vol 7 no. 12? Also yes.

Did the woman cited study adolescents and anxiety during Covid pandemic? Still yes.

“They made up everything! There were typos in the report!”

Hey man. I know it was tough for you when Gaetz didn’t make it into the admin, but there’s always the next pedo.

I really believe that a law should be passed that anything AI generated should have a mark to let others know that it wasn't human generated. That any person that attempts to pass an AI generated "whatever" can be held liable for defrauding the public.

TRUST THE SCIENCE!!!!!

Anyway.

Yeah I used ai to check something the other day. Called a dr in that field

Ai says blank.
Dr says blank

Re Ai it.

Would not show me the previous answer (wrong. Wrong as frick. Not even close to correct. Very well articulated though) and completely changed its answer.

Moral of the story.

Call the guy who’s done it his whole life and bases his life and credibility on his answer.

So we’ve swapped from using intentionally incorrect studies to using nonexistent studies?

One of those has a small chance of being correct.

I just threw that last line in there cause it’s true, but I am no fan of either scenario.

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.



But but AI is gonna take all da jerbs and massive UE, but but our AI oberlawds nose best...

I support what RFK is trying to do, but it is vital that he get the science right, especially since that is the whole point of his movement.

So the study has MORE THAN 500 citations listed and ABC scrounged up a couple with issues? sounds like a formatting problem


I’m sure you’d have the same response if this was done under Biden. I appreciate the consistency!

Just goes to show what we all knew all along. RFK is not, and never was, a serious person.

That’s ridiculous. People are going to make mistakes. I’’ve made lots of big mistakes in my life, but somehow the things i got right were more influential. If I listed all the things I got wrong they would make this one mistake by RFK look like a spelling error.

George HW Bush had a great line about that when Dan Rather was trying to corner him about whether he was in a meeting when some information had been revealed. Bush said something to the effect, “Dan, remember when you were off the set for a couple of minutes and the video feed just showed your empty chair? Would you want your whole career summarized by that one incident?”

I doubt it would have been reported. Look at what they ignored with that clown.

Submitting AI written slop as government policy was not a mistake, it was his best option. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

This is the kind of bullshite you wouldn’t accept from your kid on his book report but somehow from this administration, it’s excusable??

Again, RFK is not a serious person, and it shows!

The odds are high that RFK did not know it was “AI slop”.So yes, it WAS a mistake on his part not to vet what was being submitted.

And No, of course it’s not excusable. But I’m not about to throw that very important baby out with the bathwater. RFK, Jr has brought to the fore, at great personal cost, an obvious problem with the US food supply and medical practices.
