Ever since LLM generated content proliferated we now have “This isn’t X. It’s Y” shibboleths EVRYWHERE!
A person doesn’t normally start a sentence with “This isn’t a silly minor thing that you wouldn’t think it was but I had to say it out of the blue as a set up for the next sentence.” only to be followed by “This is a major deal worthy of you resharing and liking!”
They might do the clauses in the other order, though. “This is a huge deal! Not just business as usual.”

- EGreg 7mo agoNope. It is generated by LLMs, and a few people got influenced by it now. It isn’t like em-dashes
- Aerroon 7mo agoI've definitely been writing like that for a long time.

- EGreg 7mo agoYes, but it's not natural to say "It's not <non sequitur thing no one was talking about>. It's <amazing globally impactful thing that should make you pay attention>." That's how LLMs write though.
