Most articles from the 2020s, just about, but one from 1959, and it seems to talk about the same stuff as OP's screenshot.

My dear posters, I think this may be the source.

I mean, they did not have LLM's in the late 1950s, so if there's anywhere where "vegetative electron microscopy" could have come from, it would be that article. And if you look in the Scholar search results, you'll find the same words around that phrase as are in the screenshot, soooooooo...

Well yes, obviously. It's even in the top post that the original was in 1959.

Yep, page 4, seventh line from the bottom. That's the one in the screenshot
