Comment on The MAHA report cites studies that don't exist

Comments

Pretty common for people to imitate the structure of scientific or official documents without understanding the purpose of things like abstracts, citations, statistics, etc. This kind of imitation bears a strong resemblance to the original "cargo cults" of the 1950s.

I wonder if these fakes and mistakes are cargo cult behavior, or AI slop?
