Research Gold, a company that claims to offer "100% human-written, never AI" medical research services, has been found to be entirely AI-generated. The company lists several PhD reviewers and methodologists on its website, but these individuals, including Dr. Elena Vasquez and Dr. Mei-Lin Chen, do not exist and have AI-generated profile pictures. While some real methodologists were initially listed, they were unaware their identities were being used, and Research Gold removed their information after being contacted. Even customer service interactions, including calls and chats, were handled by AI agents. AI

RANK_REASON The story is about a company misrepresenting its services and using AI deceptively, rather than a core AI development or release.
