"Living on the Edge: An American Generation’s Journey through the Twentieth Century", by Settersten, Elder, and Pierce. It's not a trade book, but it's accessible and very interesting. I assign chapters from this for a lecture on the life course (for an introductory undergrad course).

I would love to see if findings replicate once you remove keywords that obviously indicate that the researchers had some statistically significant and theoretically important findings.

Might there be a chance that the researchers show are publishing in high-impact journals (which is the indicator of "quality" here) after Chat-GPT release are actually finding more "significant" results for unrelated reasons? (e.g., luck, better research ideas)

There may be a trade-off between the cognitive resources we need to process large amounts of data and carefully examining data. By the same logic, feedback from 1-2 careful readers may be more useful than from several readers who lack the skills or willingness to appropriately engage with your work.
