Yeah... I work for an e-commerce website and ever since chatgpt came to the world we have been making product descriptions and write ups assisted by the tool.

The reason from the product manager: SEO

People search for stuff to buy... and they have to find it usually via Google. My experience, buyers care more about the price and site removeds.

Descriptions? Well, they're there.
