Can such an attack be done without detection?
No, the whole point of using a blockchain is to have a publicly verifiable ledger of all transactions. If anything goes wrong, there will be so many alarm bells ringing across the world that probably it'll be a hearable event for most people living in places that resembles modern civilization.

ETH yes but not BTC. GPUs can't touch ASICs
Enough GPUs can.
I work in deep learning and had to camp out in front of a best buy to get my hands on some 3090s. A good portion of the people in line with me were crypto miners who were waiting to get more GPUs to add to their collection because they're making money on each one and as long as it's profitable it makes perfect sense for them to buy up more.

What are they mining, Monero? Is GPU mining still a thing for Bitcoin or Ethereum?

Some crypto miners are accumulating so much wealth that they are looking into building their own chips and hardware to mine even harder than what you can buy commercially from Nvidia.

I have mined and sold $2,800 of ETH in the 9 months I’ve owned it. The extra power has cost me a couple hundred dollars.
I’ve made anywhere from $3 to $75 per day during that time (thank you Shiba Inu launch date for the highest numbers).
I’m continuing to make about $3 per day. You can look up current profitability for any graphics card at whattomine.com.
Bottom line is I could have added infinite graphics cards to this setup and the profit would’ve gone up linearly.
Anyone that doesn’t think GPUs are high due to ETH mining has no idea what they’re talking about. The analysis from OP seemed ridiculous to me. I didn’t even see LHR mentioned in the article which are GPU manufacturers attempting to make GPUs unprofitable for miners so they can only be used for gaming. (Hint: didn’t work very well).
A game theoretically designed paperclip maximizer is growing so large that we're starting to see collateral damage in the broad economy; car prices and availability issues, just to name one example.
Forget car prices, look at overall energy prices this winter.

GPU mining is a thing for Ethereum, hopefully not for much longer
That’s at least six months off and has already been delayed repeatedly.
