A documented arXiv preprint reports AI systems treated “Bixonimania” as real.
Claim:
Researchers deliberately fabricated a fictitious disease called Bixonimania using AI-generated preprints and found that AI systems subsequently treated it as a legitimate medical condition.
HARDLY BS
Radiologists often fail to spot deepfake X-rays, yet diagnostic accuracy remains similar.
Claim:
AI-generated deepfake X-ray images are sufficiently realistic to cause radiologists to make incorrect diagnoses.
SOME BS
Cognitive harms appear mainly with heavy, passive AI dependence, not general use.
Claim:
Using artificial intelligence tools causes a decline in human intelligence over time.
MOSTLY BS

Claim:
Artificial intelligence will have a net positive impact on the climate.
SOME BS
By 2036, AI is expected to automate routine accounting, not eliminate accountants.
Claim:
Artificial intelligence will not fully replace human accountants in the accounting profession by 2036.
HARDLY BS
