In this case even emailing the author didn't work. The data was obtained via some roundabout method. But it's not the real reason IMHO. You could use LLMs to write takedowns like this one. I gave ChatGPT the paper PDF and some neutral prompts. Although it didn't go straight to 'this is clearly fraud' - it's too nice for that - it did compute and point out the absurdly huge effect sizes, and give a relatively low confidence the paper's central claim would replicate. The real reason there aren't bots systematically destroying papers is because universities defend fraud, they don't punish it. You'd just be burning tokens to reveal lots of fraud with no outcome.
