I work in AI. This is very common, and lots of companies use this. It's also very common in academia, as it's an easy way to get data. Synthetic data can range from totally fake to techniques like machine translation to transform data from one language to another.

When they say "AI generated", it's probably just using one of the API's the LLM orchestrates.
