The CDC website is now officially lying about vaccines and autism.

Not only is this awful on its face, but any such question to LLMs will likely now have a different answer than before.

Confirmed: ChatGPT, if it uses the CDC as a web source, now spouts vaccine misinfo.

@mttaggart looks to me like it correctly shows both what the CDC claims - attributing it to the current CDC website - and what rigorous studies say. You prompted it to use the CDC as source and it did, while also giving the broader context.

Looks like a GIGO issue.

@mttaggart This is crazy from a censorship perspective. With LLM-search, you no longer need to remove every document from search results, you either:

- lean on the LLM provider to tweak the prompt
- poison some backend data you know it’s going to scrape
