WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House will fix errors in a much-anticipated federal government report spearheaded by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which decried America’s food supply, pesticides and prescription drugs.

Kennedy’s wide-ranging “Make America Healthy Again” report, released last week, cited hundreds of studies, but a closer look by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not actually exist.

Asked about the report’s problems, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the report will be updated.

    I would say making statements that the mistakes are suggestive of AI/LLM authorship would be speculative without hard evidence. That said, they should call it what it is, a half-assed report that’s a result of either carelessness or a willful desire to misinform.

      I disagree. Saying that the mistakes are LLM generated without evidence to support that claim would certainly be inappropriate.

      However, simply stating something like…

      These types of mistakes are frequently seen in text generated by LLMs, such as when [reference to story about lawyer getting caught submitting LLM generated documents in court referencing non-existent cases].

      is completely factual and highly relevant.
