Experts are claiming the MAHA Commission Report was written using AI and should therefore be scrapped, after telltale signs were found embedded in the text.
The Commission Report, released last week, outlines the scale of the chronic-disease crisis facing America, and especially its children, and identifies major potential causes as well as issuing recommendations on how to address the crisis.
This week it was claimed the Report contains citations of multiple authors and sources that don’t exist.
Now AI researchers, speaking to The Washington Post, claim the Report also contains unmistakeable evidence AI was used to write it.
The evidence is “oaicite” markers, tags that link URLs to OpenAI tools, in a number of footnotes.
Critics of Kennedy and the MAHA agenda are now calling for the Report to be scrapped.
“This is not an evidence-based report, and for all practical purposes, it should be junked at this point,” said Georges C. Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
“It cannot be used for any policymaking. It cannot even be used for any serious discussion, because you can’t believe what’s in it.”
An emerging problem with the use of AI is so-called “hallucinations,” where large language models like OpenAI create plausible but totally false content.
The White House has apparently updated the report more than once since Thursday in order to remove oaicite markers.
