alt Hacker NewsI don't agree. I have two theories about these overused patterns, because they're way over represented
One, they're rhetorical devices popular in oral speech, and are being picked up from transcripts and commercial sources eg, television ads or political talking head shows.
Two, they're popular with reviewers while models are going through post training. Either because they help paper over logical gaps, or provide a stylistic gloss which feels professional in small doses.
There is no way these patterns are in normal written English in the training corpus in the same proportion as they're being output.

I think this is it. It sounds incredibly confident. It will make reviewers much more likely to accept it as "correct" or "intelligent", because they're primed to believe it, and makes them less likely to question it.
