Florida's new COVID-19 booster guidance is straight-up misinformation.

From CBS News: "In what has become a pattern of spreading vaccine misinformation, the Florida health department is telling older Floridians and others at highest risk from COVID-19 to avoid most booster shots, saying they are potentially dangerous. Clinicians and scientists denounced the message as politically fueled scaremongering that also weakens efforts to protect against diseases like measles and whooping cough."

Florida's new COVID booster guidance is straight-up misinformation

State Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo spread anti-vaccine misinformation by telling Floridians to avoid mRNA vaccines. Vaccine experts and historians can't remember another state health leader urging residents to avoid an FDA-approved vaccine.

The goal: spread fear, anxiety and conflict.

Eg Canada is broken,

vaccines are scary,

Immigrants eat your pets ,

I'd like to think someone just mistitled this, but it's YouTube, a part of Google, and you just know, that no intelligence was involved

So, that thing with Amazon being full of AI-generated books containing tips to eat poisonous mushrooms?

Google Scholar now appears to be increasingly full of GPT-fabricated academic papers too - undermining human society’s hard-amassed evidence base.

Good work, everyone.

HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL Mis information Review SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 PDF PEER REVIEWED GPT fabricated scientific papers on Google Scholar: Key features, spread, and implications for preempting evidence manipulation
Academic journals, archives, and repositories are seeing an increasing number of questionable research papers clearly produced using generative Al. They are often created with widely available, general-purpose AI applications, most likely ChatGPT, and mimic scientific writing. Google Scholar easily locates and lists these questionable papers alongside reputable, quality-controlled research. Our analysis of a selection of questionable GPT- fabricated scientific papers found in Google Scholar shows that many are about applied, often controversial topics susceptible to disinformation: the environment, health, and computing. The resulting enhanced potential for malicious manipulation of society's evidence base, particularly in politically divisive domains, is a growing concern.
