as a slightly-less-old fart I appreciate this, as i started at this pattern quite a bit in the old days

Not who you were speaking to, but there’s at least one infamous example about a mycology book on amazon that was presumably copy pasted from LLM output. It is the same issue my professors had with people who copy-pasted from wikipedia. It is mostly right, but there is no real reason to believe it unless you can check the answer, and many people don’t understand that.

Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.
