It does make you wonder whether someone has cooked the argument up with a language model along the way, and it's just fabricated a citation as they are wont to do.

I don't think I've seen "wont to do" written out until now. Is that the spelling of wont?

It is indeed!

The definition of wont will help anyone who doesn’t understand: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wont

To be clear, this is not the contraction of “will” and “not.”
