Will a physics paper be published in Nature or Science and later be found to have a major mistake that the authors will publicly blame on machine learning tools, by Dec 31, 2025?

The paper must have been accepted for publication after the market creation date. It must be later found to be incorrect in such a way that the main result does not hold anymore. The authors must publicly admit that the mistake was due in large part to the AI/machine learning methods they relied upon. The fact that the authors take personal responsibility for the mistake is irrelevant, as long as they credibly link it to AI. Careless use of AI tools counts.

There is a discrepancy between the title and description: "blame" in the title seems to imply that this should resolve yes even if the researcher unconvincingly tries to blame an AI tool in "dog ate my homework" style. The description however requires "credible link to AI", which would IMHO be better described in the title as "attributed"...
