I've noticed something similar (garbage in, garbage out, essentially) with translation services by google and co. People use these services to translate their sites, which then get fed into these models. There are a bunch of translation errors of terms of trade that are endemic in the german/english translations and apparently originate from these wrongly-trained models, which are then used to build new translations.

And then people learn to speak the language from that, and the errors become part of the language.

Translation errors have a long history of getting incorporated into language, but now we can do it at scale!
