Recently Claude and GPT have either both acquired this tic or I've become hypersensitive to it but it's just unbearable and it turns out that an editing pass which forbids "X verbs no noun" constructions will basically always improve a piece of writing. If I could only pick one construct to ban I'd probably choose it even over the classic "not X but Y".
