A year ago meta set up an AI to check science papers had a funny result which made it get shut down.

When asked "do vaccines cause autism", the AI said they don't cause autism but they do cause autism. Lol! 😂

Perhaps the issue is that research is highly influenced by funding which involves profit and/or political motives.
