Cases of fabrication have been caught because the fabrication is done so badly, i.e. inplausibly. It's often just imputing some "random" numbers or repeating samples etc. Many would be amazed how technically and mathematically illiterate scientists often are. And probably ones that fabricate even more so. Maybe it will increase and/or get a bit higher quality with LLM fakery. But as with many "AI bad" themes, the problem isn't that "AI" can fabricate the data. The problem is fucked up institutions and cultures.
