Yes, the incorrect usage is widespread! See Fowler's original book for the thinking behind the term -- every example therein is a 1-minute job, and many are macros in your IDE.

Good point that LLMs tend to rewrite unless corrected. I have heard (but not tested myself!) that if you tell them to apply a series of small changes they stay on track better. Fowler's list would probably be a good starting place.
