Well this is strangely backwards - the "fraud" of transforming a messy process in the lab into a neat, logical succession of experiments on paper is a core feature of science as a human activity (see Latour's Lab Life). A machine has no problem processing a raw data dump

Is the scientific paper still a fraud?

How we write scientific papers does not reflect how we do science, masking the human in the process by design. This Perspective invites us to consider the structure of the scientific paper, and the ne...

It's pretty niche but if like me you always wanted to know how Gorgio Moroder and Donna Summer (and Pete Bellotte) made "I feel love", there's a whole documentary about it on Arte. Spoiler: it's about an echo tape and a C minor to C major chord transition www.arte.tv/fr/videos/12...
