It seems that @zbMATH has introduced #LLM output into its system. According to https://zbmath.org/static/newsletter/zbNEWS-21.pdf the organisation has used a chatbot to convert OCR output from its first 529 volumes into #TexLaTeX. Disappointing, but perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. It's published by #Springer, after all.
