‘Formatting Issues’: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the fake studies NOTUS discovered in the “Make America Healthy Again” report were just “formatting mistakes” that would be fixed in an updated version. But how did they get there in the first place? There’s rampant speculation that AI was used, but Leavitt deferred that question to Health and Human Services, which hasn’t given an answer yet.
Last night, however, The Washington Post reported that “some references include ‘oaicite’ attached to URLs — a definitive sign that the research was collected using artificial intelligence.”
Nothing to See Here: An updated version of the MAHA Commission report dropped shortly after Leavitt’s press briefing Thursday. Citations to studies that don’t exist were removed, while others were updated.
