Some companies are filing AI generated patents just to function as smoke and mirrors for the Chinese competition. Good luck with deciphering the baffling gibberish in these patents when your trying to implement it as a recipe. Obviously this only works by not immediately start dumping a tenfold of your normal number of filings.

Are there any examples you are aware of and are able to share?

No If I mention a name or supply a link the whole strategy is obviously wrecked.

I do advice every company with a significant patent portfolio to start training a GPT-2 on text and pictures.
