At least one major paper did, although it used AI images instead of text.

There was a paper with AI generated diagrams that not only passed peer review somehow, btu was published in a pretty major reputable journal.

You'd have normally expected them to catch it in peer review and decline to publish, especially as they took it down later.

Nothing in the Frontiers is reputable among scientists. It gets linked a lot on Reddit because it's open access, but scientists tend to view it as essentially the not-actually-peer-reviewed equivalent of a preprint. In the past, if all reviewers recommend rejection at Frontiers, the editor would be forcibly assigned new reviewers by the publishing staff. This would continue until the manuscript would get accepted. Not sure if that's still the same (I've blocked all Frontiers emails), but it's not correct to call a Frontiers journal a major reputable journal.
