"it isn't just X—it's Y" is by far the most annoying ChatGPTism

@molly0xfff As for all other LLMisms, I worry how many human authors will be caught in the crossfire. After all, the LLMs probably picked this up somewhere...
@molly0xfff true! I'm stealing "ChatGPTism". That should be a official word
@molly0xfff my shoulders are tying themselves into knots seeing all the replies doing the thing like it’s cute
@molly0xfff sounds like its caught the Marks and Spencer advert phrase from the UK for the last 10 years or so. "Its not just roast chicken, its m&s roast chicken"
@molly0xfff I agree, Y is the worst.
@molly0xfff A youtuber I follow used the phrase so much in a video that despite having strong reasons to believe they'd never use AI, I still couldn't bear watching it :(
@molly0xfff "In today's fast-paced world of article reading," that's the correct decision.
@molly0xfff "It isn't just a dessert topping, it's a floor wax!"
@molly0xfff In sum, you need to delve deeper to foster your understanding of how remarkable recent AI advances are.
I'm at the point where if something I'm reading contains this structure, closing the tab is basically an involuntary reflex
@molly0xfff which is frustrating because I do this sometimes. Like using em dashes. I don't like having to write differently because people think I don't actually write.
Today in the argie press they highlight this interesting decision by Judge Jennifer Rochon of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York.

@molly0xfff
This post isn't just right—it's a masterpiece.
It really shows how focused you are for analyzing the world and its patterns.
@molly0xfff I wonder if all the language models take into account how many of us are now finding their most characteristic expressions aversive.
@molly0xfff I was recently watching a YouTube video where they kept using AI generated pictures and after like the third one I instinctively hit the back button and clicked "do not recommend this channel again". I think there are a bunch of creators who think it's just saving them a few dollars and are just completely oblivious to how many people hate this stuff.
@molly0xfff also bulleted lists where the bullets are emojis.
@molly0xfff It isn't just annoying -- it's insufferable.
@molly0xfff it isn’t just annoying — it’s disrespectful
@molly0xfff you're completely right!
@fraggle @molly0xfff I have a colleague that has been a fan of using emdashes, going back decades. Kinda feel bad for her now, certain people are going to read her stuff and just think it's GPT.
