@philipncohen@mastodon.social The demonstration that an LLM can produce a "publication ready" regression table that probably would be accepted as legit at least 7 times out of 10. (this is my guess) I am not sure such invention of regression tables is the biggest threat.
1) In this case, the data is publicly available, probably making it a matter of time until someone would fail to replicate the results and start asking questions.
2) Without a data-sharing requirement, the bigger risk may be that 2/

@philipncohen@mastodon.social someone pretends to have collected original data through a survey or some other data analysis method. This would make reproduction impossible without a data-sharing mandate. 2) We may see vibe-coded quantitative analysis sooner or later (maybe someone knows an example already). This means a dataset is feed into an LLM and the results are based on prompts only. The LLM would be able to produce code that supposedly would produce the results if used in R, Python whatever. 3/
