"I asked ChatGPT for the best AI note taking app. Seven words, no brand names." - The question was seven words? But later on the article says the prompt was "best AI note taking app 2026".
I don't know if there's a name for that AI writing pattern where it says something like "(Number) x, no y." but I see it all the time. It seems similar to https://tropes.fyi/tropes/negative-parallelism
"here's the honest take" (I'm switching things up so you have a less biased/overconfident answer)
"it's not x, it's y" (I don't want to get confused later about different valid interpretations of what I have so far)
and of course the original, "you're absolutely right"
