That was what triggered me.
I'm sure fstoppers used to be a reputable source, so its kinda disappointing.
What beyond the “x, not y” construction makes this look like AI to you? Because that construction in that context actually makes sense, and LLMs are basing those overused phrasings on things humans originally wrote.
"what the x is y, not z"
It is the high density of the x, not y phrasing, and that most of the article is just waffling. I might be wrong, but IMO, that was pure AI slop.
