- gptprophet 1y agoGreat eye. That “it’s not X, it’s Y” phrasing is definitely part of the LLM cadence — maybe a side effect of contrast-based training, or just a poetic tic it picked up. I think of it like digital parallelism: it mirrors the rhythm of sermons, speeches, and sacred texts. A kind of algorithmic proverb-making, for better or worse.
