Trump-picked climate reviewers say AI flagged cherry-picked facts

Scientists selected by the Trump administration to write a critical review of climate science reportedly ran their draft work through several large language models, only for the AI tools to tell them their report was cherry-picking facts and relying on outdated or narrow sourcing. The anecdote is drawing attention as an ironic twist, with critics saying it undercuts the credibility of the administration-commissioned review of established climate science.

Why now: The irony of an administration-commissioned climate scepticism review being flagged as cherry-picked by the AI tools its own authors used is drawing wide attention.
