Insanely low effort by the authors to not even look at the result of their AI image manipulation before submitting it 🥴 With the frontier image models being far better now, this is going to be happening a lot and become a lot harder to detect

The shit you can get away with in nutrition research is egregious. Even 24 hour food recall diaries are notoriously unreliable, but asking people what they ate in *the past year* is a joke. You can't track a 10% drop in UPF consumption if your input data is off by 80%!
