Sorry, Charlie (obscure tuna fish reference) ... this is not AI. Very far from it, actually.
Quite a few years ago I owned and operated a printing and graphic arts business, and that's when I encountered Lorem ipsum for the first time.
Lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used in publishing and graphic design to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface before the content is finalized. It may be used as a placeholder before the final copy is available as well. In other words, it's simply a dummy text that has been used by the printing and graphics industry since the 1500's.
But it's not just random text. It's roots stem from a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. A Latin scholar researched some obscure Latin words from a Lorem ipsum passage, and discovered that Lorem ipsum comes from sections of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil, had to look that up as Mr. Memory has left the building) by Cicero, written in 45 BC.
It's used because a reader may be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
