The author shares a prompt that tells an AI to replicate a paper, compare it to the simplest baseline with sufficient capacity, and return a summary table.
His informal results: 7/10 runs surfaced a data problem in the paper; 3/10 found the simpler method worked better. Bundling replication plus baseline comparison into one step makes it a cheap workflow for auditing paper reliability.
