I’ve grown to deeply dislike AI texts and their excessive use of the pattern “not (just) A, but B”.

This is not just an annoyance, but a significant disruption.

@rauschma it’s no longer an excessive use; it’s a performance-oriented necessity and a paradigm unleashed #sorry

@rauschma I noticed I started self editing these out when I use this pattern “naturally” these days.

@rauschma I think most LLMs have "learned" that an appearance of thoroughness gets rewarded. So like any algorithm, the LLM will optimize into a death spiral.
