Preparing for scientific deepfakes
Abstract
By now, most scientists have probably seen figures, tables, and even entire journal articles made by so-called "generative AI", containing more or less subtle mistakes or inconsistencies. What I haven't seen yet, but expect to see soon, is the scientific equivalent of deepfakes: made-up results that come with made-up code that reproduces them. This is likely to become a new challenge for reproducible research.
