I guess you haven't heard of replication crisis, which was a big thing years before AI.  Good thing there was little need to replicate experiments, because it turned out most of the time you couldn't.  Humans were very much capable of bullshitting and willful lack of skepticism on their own, especially when academic career was on the line.
