"According to The Guardian Australia, who say they analyzed the review, there were at least 21 references throughout the report where the reference link was broken, where the paper referenced didn't appear to exist at all, or where the paper cited appears to be different to the one hyperlinked. They also say there were a number of instances where a statement wasn't supported by the paper referenced."
"I am deeply concerned about this $20m request for public funding and the evidence review it is based on, which appears to just be slop written by AI. From my preliminary assessment, the review is full of AI hallucinations, including references to studies that don't exist and statements presented as fact that are completely false or grossly exaggerated."
An independent Australian senator, David Pocock, said a University of Sydney-based institute's $20 million gambling education funding review appears to have been generated by AI and contains hallucinations. The Guardian Australia identified at least 21 reference issues including broken links, non-existent papers, incorrect hyperlinks, and unsupported statements. The OurFutures Institute's website still displays a brief budget submission post marked 'This post is being updated.' The institute's chief executive, Ken Wallace, said an editing tool was used to reorder references and that this caused mismatched, merged or incorrectly formatted citations, and the team apologised.
