Your observation, while accurate, is a tangent. The point of the bibliography in the context of an academic paper is to reference the academic merit of the work. In the case of science, this would be reproducible experiments (ideally).

Perhaps you would prefer to include the generated text source as an author.

Ran a consultancy for years

Most important advice I'd give is to liberally turn projects down and there are two positive outcomes

- you don't take on projects that don't make sense for you

- the best projects are the ones where the client is resilient enough to negotiate through your initial "no"
