I wonder this too. Is there so much of this style, or does it indicate some aspect of the LLMs’ sensemaking?

Whatever it is that caused "It's not X, It's Y", it's more recent than LLMs as a whole.

As far as I remember, neither GPT3.5, GPT4, nor Claude Instant did it. I think Gemini was the first to really do it, and then out of nowhere, everybody was doing it.
