Im also gonna be honest

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.”

Or maybe, ever since you became aware of it, you started increasingly becoming aware of it?

Nope. It is generated by LLMs, and a few people got influenced by it now.

It isn’t like em-dashes

I've definitely been writing like that for a long time.

Your comment can be rearranged in that it's not X it's Y format too.

Yes, 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.
