White House MAHA Report may have garbled science by using AI

I've just checked the report (which was uploaded this month, 2025-05), and many links I've found in the citations are either garbled or lead to 404 pages. Even if they didn't use an LLM to generate this paper, it's still very, very sloppy work.

> Some references include “oaicite” attached to URLs — a definitive sign that the research was collected using artificial intelligence. The presence of “oaicite” is a marker indicating use of OpenAI, a U.S. artificial intelligence company.

It's prescient of OpenAI to put markers like this into their output. Same goes with Google adding a fingerprint to their AI generated images.

MAHA has as much to do with making America healthy as MAGA has to do with making America great.

On the plus side, they got the report out 100x faster by using LLMs.
