alt Hacker News> but we don't find it irritating
Yes we do! My wife keeps saying "100%" and after I pointed it out she's stopped.
Also I talk to dozens of different people in my life and they all have different overused phrases. Much less tedious when there's variety.
Finally most human don't do it nearly as often as AI, and they're not quite as LinkedIn as AI.
We don't find it more annoying because it's a machine - it's simply more annoying.

I went through a “100%” phase recently and couldn’t for the life of me understand why I was suddenly saying it ALL THE TIME. Brains are so weird.

Did you negotiate her down to "99%"?
It's like a new fad word. Gnarly, cool, bogus, rizz. When a few people use them it's new and interesting. When all of culture catches up and overuses them it's annoying as your gen-Z saying 6/7 40 times in a row.
The problem with millions of people using a few model is it's not 40 times in a row, it's 40 million!
