I promise you, in particle physics it is seen as somewhat suspect. But a very careful analysis with machine learning costs a couple PhD-years: it would be even more suspect to forgo an improvement on a 400m dollar experiment. As you say, it's easy for a neural network to pick up on simulation artifacts, rather than real physical features. The appendix of the original paper [1] explains how they quantify the failure modes of this approach. One kind of cool approach was training an adversarial network to corrupt simulated backgrounds to make them signal-like. The details are sparse, but it…
